I noticed subversion bumped due to a vuxml vulnerability.  It built but did not install, 
pkg-static not found  [five or so files] ... in STAGE...

reinstalled the earlier version by "pkg install subversion"

Could STAGE >> << PKG   installs be developed and tested further so that this would never happen?  It
did not used to under the old packaging system and is a regression in reliability* it seems, especially for
overnight production machine upgrades where the earlier package may not to  found, or not compatible with
other ports upgraded in the same session.

Something like a test-stage-INSTALL before .build-done  so the error is caught earlier.  Seems like a missing in
the stage coding requirements.     Can't help from here, never tried to stage/maintain a port.  

***reliability for production***
