Hi All,

I recently noticed if I update a package from ports, the package 
manager looses the dependency data for the package.  eg:  updating 
old version of gettext

# pkg_info -R gett*
Information for gettext-0.14.5_1:
Required by:
libgpg-error-1.1
libgcrypt-1.2.2
gnutls-1.2.9
p5-gettext-1.03
gmake-3.80_2

[[[ update from ports - make ; make deinstall ; make reinstall ]]]

# pkg_info -R gett*
Information for gettext-0.14.5_2:

Is my procedure incorrect, or is this normal behavior?

   -Thanks,  Wayne
