I have a few times, but the instructions given in UPDATING don't give me an indication of /how/ I should be answering these questions posed by pkgdb -Ff (or Fu, or whatever). For example, it's not clear to me /why/ we're uninstalling certain packages before the upgrade - are they obsolete or is it an order dependency? Later during the process with things are fubar, I don't know whether installing certain stale dependencies are correct or not nor do I know how to answer questions about package origins. I'd love to help myself here, but having some cluepons would help. Thanks, -Clint
