Solved Packages not available for FreeBSD 11.4

[Deleted member 66267]

My old script used to install desktop broke because there is no longer any deskutils/gnome-screenshot and archivers/file-roller packages for 11.4. I checked freshports and seems these are only available for 12.2 or above. So, what's going on? Packages could randomly disappear without reasons?

I ended up use archivers/engrampa instead of archivers/file-roller and it also pulled in x11/mate-desktop, x11-themes/mate-icon-theme (reasonable, since it's a MATE application) and even x11-fm/caja (WTF? A full featured file manager?) as dependencies! I already have x11-fm/thunar since I'm using a x11-wm/xfce4 desktop!

They may have build failures. For a variety of reasons. Check the build status here: https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/builds?jailname=114amd64

deskutils/gnome-screenshot was skipped because a dependency (devel/appstream-glib) failed to build. The failure on appstream-glib caused 88 packages to get skipped.
