I also found twice that removed (from ports permanently) packages I had installed would throw things into a loop that once caused me to run out of memory or things just kept looping.
^C followed by pkg_delete -i "the offending package" then resuming pkg_add -u made things much easier. Overall the pkg_ tools have been great and always improving. Thank you for the hard work! Overall, following -current locally and remotely has become so incredibly easy now that I am running -current everywhere and really happy! (and resuming work on porting because of it) Thanks again!
