I usually go there only, if something goes wrong. But this time, I did not even read UPDATING though I suddenly found that the old docbook packages where still shown with "pkg version" but where no longer installed: They have been marked as "orphaned packages". At the same time I found missing dependencies. I manually deinstalled the orphaned packages and installed the new docbook packages and have run into next problems because docbook-utils could not be upgraded. And all the above problems occured right after having had trouble because KDE could not be upgraded due to an error in docbook-xml. Well, all together a lot of trouble with docbook packages. But now all docbook related problems are solved and all packages are up to date without portmaster/pkg detecting any dependency errors. By the way: I am running FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE with Bash as login shell for root. Regards, Peter
