How can I break out of this viscous circle and become a sane > FreeBSD-er again?! What a sticky situation. First of all, I think you would do best right now to build your own index. 'portsdb -uU' will take a while, but it will match exactly what you have installed, which will probably help getting the dependency comparisons correct. Also, run 'pkgdb -F' until it stops reporting problems.
