I just went through that a few days ago. I ended up just answering y to everything and letting it remove the packages. I then went back and used pkg to reinstall the ones it had just removed. I had thought that pkg would fix these types of problems, but obviously not. When I asked here at that time, someone suggested 'pkg check -Ba' to see if there are pkg problems. In my case there were some, but fixing them didn't help the solver problem. -- Carl Johnson carlj@peak.org
