Try pkg_delete and then pkgdb -fF. HI Thanks sorry I should have mentioned I tried that and got: [root@dns1 /var/db/pkg/bsdpan-Pod-Perldoc-3.15]# pkg_delete bsdpan-Pod-Perldoc pkg_delete: no such package 'bsdpan-Pod-Perldoc' installed The following pkgdb -fF just produces the Stale dependency report (see above) after having previously shown it has mmissing origin.. I cannot trace an origin for this!! David
