PHP upgrade fails

Absolutely so! I wish I had done that.

I still have a strange problem. PHP seems almost fine at the moment.
Sites are working to some extent at least. But I need to add one php
extension so I went to /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions, followed by
make config.

There I deselected some of the extensions I do not really need plus
checked the one I am after.

The installation went fine (I did not notice any errors) but when I issue:

pkg_info -Ix php5
php5-5.3.2          PHP Scripting Language
php5-bcmath-5.3.2   The bcmath shared extension for php
php5-bz2-5.3.2      The bz2 shared extension for php
php5-ctype-5.3.2    The ctype shared extension for php
php5-dom-5.3.2      The dom shared extension for php
php5-extensions-1.4 A "meta-port" to install PHP extensions

php5-zip-5.3.2      The zip shared extension for php
php5-zlib-5.3.2     The zlib shared extension for php

I cannot find php5-pdf* which I was trying to install.

Would you have any advice as to why this is happening and how to
troubleshoot it on a  8.0-RELEASE-p2 with a Generic kernel?

Many, many thanks in advance!
