I'm trying to use portupgrade to update my installed ports. I ran into trouble with dependencies with ImageMagick and xorg-libraries, and I then followed the suggestion in UPDATING to delete XFree86 the imake-4 packages, and install the full xorg port. After all that, I got more dependency errors: 'Stale dependency: aalib-1.4.r5_1 --> imake-4.3.0_1 -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force.' 'pkgdb -O' returned an invalid option error, and 'pkgdb -o aalib-1.4.r5_1' returned 'graphics/aalib'. I then ran 'pkgdb -F' to try and fix this (and many, many other) stale dependencies, but the error I got when trying to ru= n portupgrade afterward simply changed the stale dependency error to ' aalib-1.4.r5_1 --> XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_6'. How does one get around these dependency errors without destroying a system= ? Any good resources on dealing with this? I keep reading that I should just run 'pkgdb -F' but that only gets one so far. Thanks, ~John
