Are you using the latest portmaster? $ pkg info -xo portmaster portmaster-3.13.13: ports-mgmt/portmaster $ with pkgng patch And can you tgz and send me your /var/db/pkg directory? http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/var_db_pkg.tar.xz > Anyway, I presume this is a benign warning, and > none of my 235 ports need to be rebuid, right? 'portmaster -y --check-depends' is the right answer here. The run dependency on pkg-config has always been bogus, it's just that we're only now working on fixing it. Same thing: http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/depends Note there are also lots of dependencies on perl5.14, even though I did portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.14 at the time (/usr/ports/UPDATING from 20120630). In case it matters, these particular outputs are from r237134 ia64. However, I get similar results on amd64 -current too. Many thanks for looking into this. Anton -- I am only one, but I am one.
