Hello everyone!

I've been using FBSD for a few years now, but am not
sure as to what a 'stale dependency' is...

I am receiving an error message with ymessenger pkg
that it has stale dependencies and to use 'pkgdb -F'
to fix or -O to force.

I'm a bit inexperienced when it comes to repairing the
package db and would appreciate any pointers you can
give.

Thanks for listening...

Mark
