i just looked at your dns_ddclient client example again. The output isn't matching what you describe.
- you ran
synth prepare-system
- It deleted the bad dns_ddclient package
- It rebuilt the package
- It rebuilt the repository
One pass. It did 1) and 2). Correct?
No, because the repository was missing the new
dns/ddclient package file after the first invocation of
synth prepare-system completed. Here, I'll show you again by starting from scratch. Bear with me on this, please -- I know this is long, but please follow along through all steps to reproduce:
Getting rid of

===> Removing user-configured options for ddclient-3.8.2_1
root@wintermute-pts/2(3:49pm)~/:
The package is now removed from the system, the options file has been deleted, and I manually deleted the package file from the repository.
Now we reinstall with
synth install dns/ddclient:
Code:
root@wintermute-pts/2(3:49pm)~/:synth install dns/ddclient

root@wintermute-pts/2(3:51pm)~/:
The package is now installed, and
ddclient-3.8.2_1.txz is in the repo.
Time to change the option:
Code:
root@wintermute-pts/2(3:51pm)~/:make -C /usr/ports/dns/ddclient config
root@wintermute-pts/2(3:52pm)~/:cat /var/db/ports/dns_ddclient/options

_FILE_COMPLETE_OPTIONS_LIST=SSL
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=SSL
root@wintermute-pts/2(3:53pm)~/:
The option is now changed. Now we run
synth prepare-system to see if both (1) and (2) above are completed in one run:
Code:
root@wintermute-pts/2(3:53pm)~/:synth prepare-system

And we see that only (1) happened -- the old package was deleted, but the new package was not put in the repo -- the new version of
ddclient-3.8.2_1.txz is not in
/var/synth/live_packages/All. But we did build it during this run -- note that "packages built: 1" is in the final tally. But where's the new package I just built? We have to run
synth prepare-system a second time for the new package to appear in the repo:

root@wintermute-pts/2(4:02pm)~/:
The package was rebuilt again (packages built: 1), but now we see (finally!) that (2) has been completed -- the new package is in the repo and is ready to install. I shouldn't have to run
synth prepare-system twice for that to happen, right?
