--- Comment #3 from Lexi Winter <ivy@FreeBSD.org> ---
this is because the hard links /.profile and /.cshrc are missing the config
tag, which makes pkg overwrite them instead of attempting to merge changes.

for main, we already removed /.cshrc, so we can just remove /.profile as well:

for stable/14, adding the config tag to the links in / works around the
problem: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D52162
