well, technically, all you need to do is pkg_deinstall -f pkg_tarup-\*,
as that will remove the portupgrade dependency, which is only a stale
leftover anyhow. you're correct that portupgrade won't handle stuff just
disappearing, but that's what pkgdb -F is there for. pkgdb's Fixit mode
is VERY powerful, but rather confusing to use.
