i have to reinstall 2500 packages

That's an amazing number. I just checked: My server has 138 packages installed. Which means I need to go over them one by one and remove some.

In the first run it will install everything from the freebsd servers, this download will be slow.
In the second run it's from my local drive with poudriere repository this will be faster.
I force the install. Idea is everything from poudriere repository except the ones that did not compiled (fallout).

pkg install is conservative, this means once a package was found in a repository it will try to re-use this repository on upgrade.
[ to circumvent this you can put CONSERVATIVE_UPGRADE: NO in your /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/ files ]
