On 11.0_RC7:2026Q2 here, I found a work around path by quizzing
Gemini‑AI model and did a local build of multimedia/x265 then installed.
But the follow up `pkgin upgrade' errored out and I had to directly
specify those packages that failed to install because of x265 dependency.

A day later, `pkgin update; pkgin upgrade' installed 24 packages then
requested `pkgin upgrade' to upgrade pkgin and another 217 packages were
installed.
