According to UPDATING, I should be able to do this to resolve issues with 
libiconv:  pkg query %ro libiconv >ports_to_update

On my system, running 8.4 RELEASE with the old packaging system, this 
command doesn't do anything.  I ran pkg_info to get a list of dependent 
apps and then piped that into xargs portmaster, but I got errors.

# cat dependencies.txt | xargs portmaster

===>>> /var/db/pkg/Information does not exist
===>>> Aborting update

===>>> Killing background jobs
Terminated
Terminated

===>>> Exiting

So how can I fix this problem without updating to the new pkg system?
