Should I remove some packages > scares me a lot, but if I can backup the packages and after it updates Technically, you don't have to remove them. pkg2ng will convert your installed package-database. But after the conversion and before the upgrade, you must do pkg set -yo devel/pkg-config:devel/pkgconf and then pkg remove pkg-config Similar with PERL (if the default PERL-version has changed - I don't know because I have changed the default for my site). After that, you can run pkg upgrade -fa and it will upgrade everything (provided a package is in the repo). Then, you can install openjdk.
