I'm using pkgdb because I wanted to try portupgrade, and it required it.  My
problem is that it's doing procedures, asking for a decision on my part, but I
can't make any guess how to answer it, because the prompt is fairly meaningless
to  me.  Here is an example of what I'm seeing:

Stale dependency: someportname-1.1.1 -> differentportname-1.1.1 (differentportname):
3rdportname-1.1.1 ? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes]

I haven't the least idea what the Y/N/A is referring to, what sort of action I
am causing or allowing.  I tried the man page on pkgdb, but I didn't see that
sort of message in that page.  Sure hope you can give me a hint (and, as a hint,
this might be a good time to fix that fairly useless prompt).
