I hope it is not too far off topic but:

Can anyone tell me how to fix this one:

Stale dependency: bsdpan-Pod-Perldoc-3.15 -> perl-5.8.9_2 (lang/perl5.8):
can't convert nil into string


My update to 10 seems to be OK except for this..

I cannot find its origin so do not know what to deinstall and reinstall

It would also be great to get all bsdpan into the pkgdb with their origins.. 
is there any way to do that?

Thanks in advance

David
