You can also look in your system logs to see what packages adding amsn pulled as dependencies, one of them is probably the missing hidden dep. Landry

Including the actual error message you saw would potentially save
a bunch of work, this type of problem is highly dependant on the order
packages were built in. Even if you're in a real hurry would it really
take more than a few seconds to paste the message into a mail to
yourself to look at later?
I'm just about to start a bulk so I'm going to commit this without
waiting for an ok as it's obviously correct.

Re: Missing dependencies for pidgin
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.

Installing amsn, gives all the dependencies missing... some examination of what is actually needed is needed. 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. -ryan
