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.
