Hi,

This seems to be a recurring problem on my system.  I install or
upgrade a port that depends on libcapplet (/usr/ports/x11/libcapplet).
Then I run portversion or something and it complains that:

  Stale dependency: gtkhtml-1.0.4_1 --> libcapplet-1.4.0.5 -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force.

But there is no /var/db/pkg/libcapplet* registered as being installed.

So I do a locate and find libcapplet:

  -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  43532 May 14 00:37 /usr/X11R6/lib/libcapplet.a
  lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     15 May 14 00:37 /usr/X11R6/lib/libcapplet.so@ -> libcapplet.so.5
  -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  45870 May 14 00:37 /usr/X11R6/lib/libcapplet.so.5*

The package system says this was installed by gnomecontrolcenter:

  pkg_info -W /usr/X11R6/lib/libcapplet.a

  /usr/X11R6/lib/libcapplet.a was installed by package gnomecontrolcenter-1.4.0.5_1

But portupgrade thinks it should be installed by the x11/libcapplet
port.  Does gnomecontrolcenter install libcapplet itself instead of
using the x11/libcapplet port, and thus libcapplet is not getting
registered or something?

Any ideas on a proper fix for this?

Thanks,
-Brian
