EnviromentAn HP EliteBook 850 G2, which more often has a CUSTOM package set … but the above failure – with (or attempting to get to) UNSTABLE – is remarkable. I just realised:

A few days ago for some reason (I don't have all notes handy, sorry), maybe with attention to Now I wonder whether this issue 303 is a duplicate of #291. |
Probably true. From #291 (comment):
As far as I can tell, that's not a workaround for my case:

I have encountered this as well going from custom to stable. I was not able to delete that exact package to workaround it either. The only solution I could find was to revert back to a BE which had stable, and upgrade to stable. |

FreeBSD-examples was installing /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf, and that was moved to FreeBSD-runtime. I still had FreeBSD-examples on my system so FreeBSD-runtime could not be upgraded. |
