I'm not sure why this happens but the recent version bump of openh264 port may be related (see #5).

Can you try to re-download the latest vscode package and re-install it after pkg upgrade?

Or you can use pkg lock command to protect vscode from being deleted.

Yup: upgrading openh264 would break it anyways, so I think pkg is doing his job right.

New packages are OK. Thanks!
