The most recent protobuf-c package update wants to remove and downgrade
incompatible dependencies:

     Cannot solve problem using SAT solver, trying another plan
     The following 5 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):
     Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
         protobuf-c: 1.5.1_2 -> 1.5.1_3
     Installed packages to be DOWNGRADED:
         bind-tools: 9.20.10 -> 9.20.9
         libxml2: 2.14.4 -> 2.11.9
     Installed packages to be REMOVED:
         apache24: 2.4.63_1
         py311-html5-parser: 0.4.12_2
     The operation will free 4 MiB

This should never happen.  It never happens on Linux package upgrades,
making autoupdate cron tasks feasible and saving nontrivial admin time.

Would be great if there were a poudriere or pkg-install flag or
environment variable to prevent such behavior but I did not find one in
the docs.  Did I miss it or is there an RFE form under freebsd.org for
such requests?
