>Release: FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE i386
>Organization:
>Environment:
FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE i386
>Description:
The pkg_update utility doesn't fully grok package versions
and therefore doesn't re-register +REQUIRED_BY dependencies
after upgrading a package.
>How-To-Repeat:
By example, when upgrading XFree86-Server-4.2.1_3 to _5:
# pkg_update XFree86-Server-4.2.1_5.tgz
Updating XFree86-Server packages to version 4.2.1
Can't open /var/db/pkg/XFree86-Server-4.2.1/+REQUIRED_BY,
No such file or directory
