I am not sure which port management caused this trouble, though I used portmaster most of the time, but sometimes I used portupgrade if specified in /usr/ports/UPDATING. I just wonder if some corrections can be made to the port management apps, or to modify pkg install/deinstall app to ignore null entry of dependence. Regards, TFC
