Remove dependency on security/openssl on install ports with portmaster

Hi there,
I've upgraded freebsd on a system from 11.x to 12.2 and would like to remove the security/openssl port and redefine dependencies to the base version included with 12.2. I commented out DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= ssl=openssl in /etc/make.conf but noticed when running portmaster -af security/openssl remains a dependency with other ports. I've been working with portmaster and prefer suggestions related to portmaster.
Thanks in advance and have a great day!

update: running a simple pkg delete openssl returns the following

Some ports have specific settings for it. Which ports in particular are you having problems with?
 
You should check /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk more carefully. If you remove the preference setting, then this will happen:

Code:
#       If no preference was set, check for an installed base version
#       but give an installed port preference over it.
Ergo I'm somewhat convinced that what you're experiencing is simply by design. So I'd try changing the value to base instead of removing it, then see what happens next.
 
Good point. I always forget that. pkg delete -f openssl (this should only delete openssl, not everything depending on it), then rebuild everything.

Wow very grateful thanks guys!
Now I'm a bit more comfortable moving on this!
 
Would the following in /etc/make.conf be the right way to go?
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= ssl=base
 
Ok so I needed to use a ginea pig like mariadb103-client to sus out the dependencies
running #make reinstall -C /usr/ports/databases/mariadb103-client
returned errors such as

EXAMPLE
ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libssl.so.11" not found, required by "libcurl.so.4"

Then I would run
#locate libcurl.so.4
#pkg which /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4
#make reinstall -C /usr/ports/ftp/curl

and then run again to see what's next....
#make reinstall -C /usr/ports/databases/mariadb103-client
 
I have to say I prefer rebuilding breaking due to missing prereqs and hunting them critters down, instead of it automatically re-installing security/openssl again.
