> It seems like you probably have some pkgdb corruption. > Try running 'pkgdb -F' to fix all the problems, then portupgrade again. <rant> this sounds sooo simple. but one ends up diving through the darn ports references by hand because somehow pkgdb seems unable to do so. and, if portsdb -Uu does it, why should i run pkgdb at all? it would seem to me that the transitive closure of the dependency graph is traversable, and the needed data are present in the ports tree. why do we keep doing this manually? i must be missing something here. randy
