I used gentoo for a while. Never used FreeBSD. I didn't check the code
for this tools yet, but I'll do it today, and then I might report
something.

I was thinking about pointing the error, then it was on users hand. Do

"rev-upgrade --force" to find the last working set of packages?

Thank you for your answers.
