When I resup ports, I always do like the manual says, that is, to run portsdb -Uu pkgdb -F portversion -c -v > portversion-updates.txt but each time upon running pkgdb -F it asks me to fix stale dependencies. Each time I fumble around, not really knowing how to answer. For instance, this time ethereal came up with the stale dependency listed as XFree86-libraries-4.1.0. So I look in the ethereal Makefile, but can't find anything that seems to answer it definitively. I look in the other files, and I use the gui utility PIB (great tool!) too, but I still don't really know how to answer. I'm tempted to just answer XFree86-4.1.0 and be done with it, but I really want to do this right. How can I find out what to replace these stale dependencies with? Is there someplace for instance in the Makefiles of these ports? What am I missing? I've got a number of ports to "fix". Thank you!
