My problem is that it's doing procedures, asking for a decision on my part, but I can't make any guess how to answer it, because the prompt is fairly meaningless to me. Here is an example of what I'm seeing: Stale dependency: someportname-1.1.1 -> differentportname-1.1.1 (differentportname): 3rdportname-1.1.1 ? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes] I haven't the least idea what the Y/N/A is referring to, what sort of action I am causing or allowing. I tried the man page on pkgdb, but I didn't see that sort of message in that page. Sure hope you can give me a hint (and, as a hint, this might be a good time to fix that fairly useless prompt). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH69qyz62J6PPcoOkRAkLKAJ4pV/vKgKv4aojyYymSPaclGHonzgCfZD9a lN12HYVWg/m22k700ubkokA= =BMlj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
