I will try this and get back do you. Thanks for the tip.

I had looked at the handbook and saw this:

Note: There are a few rare cases when an extra run of mergemaster -p is needed
before the buildworld step. These are described in UPDATING. In general,
though, you can safely omit this step if you are not updating across one or
more major FreeBSD versions.

This is the only reason I tried it.

Thanks for the response!
