Uh, what's this?

I did not let this proceed as I really don't feel like having a mess to 
un-mess....

Proceed with this action? [y/N]:

Uh, that's a "no" :-)

mysql84-client is going to shove things in the same place as mysql80, 
which it also wants to upgrade the version of.  I also have the server 
loaded; a prior "upgrade" attempt yesterday wanted to upgrade both of 
those, but there are also several other dependencies (e.g. php modules) 
which it DID NOT want to upgrade, and that's a potentially-serious 
problem, and I'm also concerned about cacti which it wants to touch too.
