I do not agree that it is useless as it gives the information that
something is wrong. Without a report, the problem might even slip into a
release. When I noticed the problem, I was in real hurry and a friend
wanted to quickly send me a file through IM. I wrote the report one day
later on another computer, not remembering what dependency was missing.
What I did was:
1. pkg_add -i pidgin (picking the gtkspell flavor)
2. running it, noticing it halting because of missing dependencies
3. pkg_add -i amsn
4. pidgin suddenly working after adding amsn
At this moment I have no time to set up a chroot and test out what was
missing. If I would have had the time, I would have been doing it
already. And no, I have not done anything to break anything, and this
was with ready compiled packages in snapshot.

This is a useless post. You did not state what dependencies are
supposedly missing, and as i have that very package installed/running,
as well as others, this will likely be dismissed as a user-issue.
You could at least try to help yourself by providing what dependencies
were reported as missing.
Based on what you have provided (nothing), you have probably done
something to your system that broke ports.
