Boot stalls with black screen, start-hello command loops forever about iso HOT 5 CLOSED

Ok, I've done some further testing with VirtualBox. Everything worked perfectly; I even rebooted twice without encountering any issues. However, the problem resurfaced when I tried to install Firefox. Take a look at some of the packages that the system attempted to upgrade:

The installation didn't complete successfully. Below is the error message/warning I received:

After rebooting, the system ended up in a broken state, similar to what I experienced with the Parallels VM:

I suspect that upgrading all packages might resolve this issue, although I'm new to FreeBSD and haven't explored the specific commands to do so. Regardless, I think it's important to either prevent users from inadvertently breaking the system by installing an application or to update the documentation with quick-fix guides for such scenarios. As with the last message, please let me know if I can help by providing more information or tests. Thanks for all the effort!

This is possibly caused because it is now a new quarter, which means that all the quarterly packages get upgraded. I can only suspect that doing this, pkg is uninstalling some vital packages?
In any case, I think it's time to do another helloSystem ISO release soon, which will contain the Q4 packages.

Thanks for the feedback! I just downloaded the latest (developer) ISO and can confirm that the issue does not occur. Shall I close this issue?

We need to find a way to tell pkg to never uninstall key packages. It would be interesting to know which package(s) pkg automatically uninstalled, which caused this breakage.

Let's reopen in case you can provide more information, thanks.
