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,
