Actually I would want to upgrade many of the ports even if they wouldn't be broken by upgrade in png or perl, but not twice.

I already have lists in /var/db/pkg/png-1.4.8/+REQUIRED_BY and similar for Perl that could be used like your p5-list and png-list.

Problem is how to avoid the duplicates, my scripting knowledge is not so advanced,

I guess I need to read up on tcsh, not to mention bash and ksh.

Or any way to make portmaster omit a port upgraded on the last run?
