Subject:   Issue with the pkgng repository

I have another minor issue with pkgng:

Say package foo-1.0 depends on bar-1.0. Then bar-1.0 is upgraded to 
version 1.1.

So a new package bar-1.1 is built (from the port), and replaces bar-1.0 
in the repository. The repository database is then updated using 'pkg 
repo'. 

Now the repository database is out of whack: It still thinks foo-1.0 
depends on bar-1.0 (the deps table in the compressed repo.sqlite database 
- i.e. repo.txz in the repository).

Admittedly the packages will still install (from the repository in 
question) on another machine, but nevertheless it doesn't seem quite 
right.

One workaround is to re-create the foo package (plus any others depending 
on bar) and refresh the repository, but is this an omission?
