portupgrade rev.1.198

>Description:

I installed the textproc/docproj metaport (portupgrade -N) and later
regenerated the ports index and database (portsdb -Uu).  Now commands
that access the package database, e.g. portversion, complain about
stale dependencies:

Stale dependency: docproj-1.10 --> docbook-241 -- manually run 'pkgdb
-F' to fix, or specify -O to force.

"Fixing" these with pkgdb proves difficult.  I can change all
docbook-xxx dependencies to docbook-4.1, although this doesn't make
sense, but dsssl-docbook-modular-1.73_1,1 is also marked as stale, no
alternative is offered, and deleting it doesn't work either:

Stale dependency: docproj-1.10 -> dsssl-docbook-modular-1.73_1,1:
New dependency? (? to help): 
Delete this? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes] 
Failed to rewrite /var/db/pkg/docproj-1.10/+CONTENTS: failed to convert Symbol into String

To restore the package database to a sane state, the docproj and
sgmlformat ports must be deleted.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install textproc/docproj, run pkgdb -F.
