I have a system that is still using the old pkg_ system that has had indigestion since the docbook re-work. That operation went well as I didn't try it until I had dealt with my 10.0 system running pkgng. Now, since the docbook upgrade did not recommend the use of '-o' for any updates, I have hundreds of missing dependencies on the various old docbook ports. I figured that a quick run of "pkgdb -F" would fix it, but pkgdb found nothing to fix. I then looked at the man page for pkgfb and it looks like -L is now required to fix missing dependencies. Is "pkgfb -L" the right command? Looks like it. Was any information that -F no longer did this posted anywhere? I see an entry in updating that recommends running "pkgdb -Ff" as recently as Feb-14, but no recommendations anywhere to use the 'L' (fix-lost) option. -- R.
