There's an observed problem with sysinstall where it's not handling X 
correctly; we're cutting a new release right now to test this, and 
there should be an updated boot image on ftp.freebsd.org shortly.  See 
the CVS logs for the grisly details.

As for the reported package problems; the package collection is 
regularly heavily used so such a widespread set of problems suddenly 
emerging is surprising.  We're not aware of any problems, and the 
plaintiff has been unwilling to specify exactly what, if any, they 
actually encountered.  We'll be trying hard to break it tomorrow.

I would, as always, be suggesting that you install/upgrade under 
controlled circumstances in order to qualify the process for your local 
conditions.  If you do so, please take a few moments to report your 
results in detail so that corrective action (if any is required) can be 
taken.

Thanks.
