Well,
talking about this specific pkgng update problem leads to other problems
of installing software. I can not say whether it is a
portmaster-specific problem or the way PKGNG keeps data, but like
OpenCV, there are other ports failing to compile or install or update
properly due to "leftovers" made by portmaster in /var/db/pkg. Deleting
them makes things go well again - partially.

In one case of my servers I can assure that there were no use of any
old-style package tools! By beginning of November this year I set up a
new server with FreeBSD 10-CURRENT using purely PKGNG. Since portmaster
tends to be problematic those days due to lack of adaption, I used
portupgrade for a while, but moved for maintainance to portmaster after
the patch to portmaster for PKGN has been commited. Since then,
portmaster installs its files in /var/db/pkg - no "leftover" files. And
on that machine those problems also occur with failing updates.

Regards,

Oliver
