How about when one is trying to update a package for which other
packages depend?

Example we packages:
A
B <==depends on A

And I wanto to upgrade A
Whenever I had this I had to force pkg_delete to delete the
package and reinstall A.
My only concern with that method is that then the dependency for
B points to the wrong package.

If only one package depends on another it is easy. I can delete
both. The issue is with packages which may have multiple other
packages depending on them.

How do others handle this?
