FreeBSD 10 RELEASE, when I run pkg upgrade it wants to install apache22. Can anyone take me through the steps which will bring me to an understanding of why it needs to install apache22? I am currently running apache24 on the system and cannot proceed with the upgrade due to conflicts between apache22 and apache24.

Code: 
root@freebsd:/usr/src # pkg upgrade

I'm guessing you have www/mod_php5 installed? That depends on the default Apache version, which is 2.2.
 
Re: pkg upgrade wants to install apache22, why?

Solved. I have ap24-mod_fcgid-2.3.9 installed which depends on apache22.
 
Yes, I am also having this issue. I have a full working setup with www/apache24, with various lang/php5 plugins. I have been reading the manual to see if there is a way to tell ports-mgmt/pkg to ignore the www/apache22 dependency and use www/apache24 instead. It would appear not. :(

We are unable to use pkg lock either; to prevent installation of www/apache22.

You can use a bastardised method of combining ports and packages, but is rather messy. Upgrade the www/apache22 dependent ports then install the remainder packages.
 
Package dependencies are "set in stone", you can't change them. If you want to deviate from the defaults you may want to set up your own repository. Setting up your own repository with ports-mgmt/poudriere is a fairly simple and straightforward process. Then you can change all the defaults on your own packages. Even if you only have one or two machines building your own packages is already quite beneficial because you can build everything without touching any of your currently running systems. Build errors or other issues can be solved locally without running into such a situation half way during the upgrade of that one important production server. Once everything is built you can simply use pkg upgrade to upgrade everything, and that usually only takes a couple of minutes.
