are you sure? if i have this problem i prefer to do a
pkg_deinstall -f portname\* and the reinstall the
latest one.

ok. then the +REQUIRED_BY will be lost but i'm know
that _every_ file - even the outdated or unneeded too -
will be removed from my disk.

if this simple to do (i'm a lazy one ;-)) i preserve the +REQUIRED_BY's
by hand before.
