I've had great fun messing with upgrading my ports via portupgrade,
et al., under 4.7-RELEASE.
I seem to have tricked myself, somehow, though:
# pkgdb -F
---> Checking the package registry database
No such file or directory - "/var/db/pkg/galeon-1.2.6/+REQUIRED_BY"
It looks like galeon went from 'galeon-1.2.6' to 'galeon-1.2.6_1'
I deleted the gaelon package, and now it doesn't show up in my
package list:
# pkg_info -a | grep galeon
Yet, 'pkgdb -F' keeps yielding the same error message.
If I try to install a new package:
# portupgrade -PP -new galeon

It doesn't really get installed, despite the 'succeeded' message.
Retrying with '-f' doesn't help, either.
I'm confused by the non-prompt 'using a package OK? [no]'; it just
slaps by; it's not really a question I'm being asked.
Does anyone know how to clear up this inconsistency, and how can I
prevent it from happening again?
