What happens when you install a combination of ports and packages and then update via ports?
My story: I tried to delete all non-base system ports and packages and rebuild from port alone. I had to install xorg via packages because I was getting errors I couldn't understand trying to do it with ports and I needed a web browser to ask questions on this forum
I would like to run a ports only system, and I would like to shift it over without deleting and reinstalling everything, is that possible?
Also, sometimes I get errors in the port build when I make, but if I go install a dependency by itself, the port I was trying to install works fine. I wonder if this is a bug in the specific port or a problem introduced by reverting to base only?
