First of all, I don't know what "stale dependency" is supposed to mean. Second, I don't know what "score" means, and finally, I don't know what the question is that I'm to answer yes, no or all to. So I've just taken to running with -Fa and hope for the best (and so far everything has worked). If the answers to these questions are in the man page for pkgdb, I apologize, but I haven't found them there. Cheers, -j
