Hmm, pretty sure that should be a little "o". At least that's
what the help screen and the manpage seem to indicate...
<kadmin@archangel> [/usr/ports]
[23:16]
% pkgdb --help
pkgdb rev.1.69
usage: pkgdb [-hafFQQquv] [-c pkgname] [-o pkgname] [-s
/old_pkgname/new_pkgname/] [file ...]
-h, --help Show this message
<snip>
-o, --origin=PKGNAME[=ORIGIN] Look up or change the origin of the given
package
<snip>
The help seems to indicate you would type something like:
$pkgdb -o <correctdependancy>
I usually just do it with -F
HTH,
