Needed again:

pkg-static install foo foo foo foo

Sometimes pulls in qt4, this time java.   So for instance,
"foo" are 30 or so (typical...) they have to be done five
at a time because no information is given

NEW

UPGRADED

REINSTALLED


which of the UPGRADED   or REINSTALLED are
the "problem"   (NEW)  (typcally, here,
 one of 20 or 40 or 60...)  and can be skipped.

...
so some reason given for each item in NEW,  or an option to
one-by-one confirm (y ? y? y? showing the consequence of
each action (portmaster style, if one will... )
