OK, I re-CVSup and the only thing that was different was the INDEX.
I try to rebuild the INDEX database and this time I get different
dependency list incompletes. What is going? Can someone please
explain? Should I re-CVSup again and see what happens? :-)


Well, i had these error a while ago. I did not care about them. Someday the errors where gone. And,
after a while, the came back. 
So, now i have also errors like yours, and i have installed 261 ports and all of them are working. 


I guess there is a small chance for this to happen, but that
depends on the port and the missing dependencies list.



So you have cvsup the base system? Did you also cvsup the ports?



I cvsup everuthing, but I don't think port dependencies have much to do
with the core system in this case.

You can't use portsdb -U right now. You have to

cd /usr/ports
make index
portsdb -u

I get almost always dependency list incompletes with portsdb -Uu.
Would it be a good idea to always use the above instead?

No, because portsdb -U uses much less computer time to rebuild INDEX 
than make index does. On my AMD 2000+ XP, which is designed to do 20 
minute buildworlds, a portsdb -U requires ~7 minutes and a make index 
requires ~11 minutes. If you are going to work on your ports, the 
extra time is time you just sit there. I find people go into their own 
version of an idle-loop after 2 minutes.

We just have to wait for knu to fix it.
