I'm not sure because it was going on for a while before I noticed it.
However, I found a way to make it stop. Searching back through the logs,
I found an example of portmaster reinstalling as an *upgrade* from python34,
which I no longer have installed. There is no python34 binary or other files
as far as I can see, nor is there anything in /usr/ports/distfiles for
[Pp]ython34*, nor is there a /usr/ports/lang/python34 directory. My pkg data
base appears to have an entry for it that says it *is* installed. I have no
clue how this situation came about. I don't know sqlite (or whichever data
base system is used by pkg(8)), so I have no idea how to delete the bad entry.
Meanwhile, adding "-x Python34 -x python34" has stopped the reinstallations.

It's 11.2-STABLE at r341329, but that probably is irrelevant now, given
the problem in my pkg data base.

The FreeBSD ports tree, in my experience, has *never* been free of
conflicts. I maintain a one-line file of my portmaster -a command that shows
all the -x parameters for the many installed ports that no longer build for
one reason or another. But, yes, the tree is rarely more than a day or two
out of date.

FWIW, I will be off-line for email until late Wednesday night, so it

Thanks for responding.
