I can't find anything in the man page for pkgdb. Two questions, really. What does it mean when I run 'pkgdb -F' and get the error message that I have a "stale dependency"? What does pkgdb want me to enter in response to the error message? This really annoys me, and what I've usually done in the past was to go install the port that was equivalent to the "stale" port. That's worked, but I don't know why. -- Roger
