i followed following steps:
1) install core system
2) ports -u
3) prt-get sysup

and 3) failed because:
a) libarchive failed pkgutils
b) bison failed bash
(the fix was to first prt-get depinst all of them)

so, what is wrong with this use case that it fails out of the box?
core deps or prt-get? or the procedure?
