    I'm trying to clean up my pkgdb, so I'm going to take it one step
    at a time. First, is there any useful documentation on this? The
    man page is rather sparse on how to answer the questions that
    pop up.

    For instance, when I run:

    $ pkgdb -F

    I get the following output to start with:

    > ---> Checking the package registry database
    > Stale origin: 'multimedia/libmpeg2': perhaps moved or obsoleted.
    > Skip this for now? [yes] no
    > no
    > Browse CVSweb for the port's history? [no]
    >
    > Guessing... no idea.
    > Not in due form <category/portname>:
    > Fixed. (-> multimedia/libmpeg2)
    > Stale dependency: p5-CGI-Application-2.3 -> p5-Test-Harness-2.26 (devel/p5-Test-Harness):
    > p5-Test-Simple-0.47 (score:53%) ? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [no]
    >

    What does "Stale origin" mean and how do I get rid of it?

    What does "Stale dependency" mean and how do I get rid of it? I take
    it to mean in this case that p5-CGI-Application-2.3 depends on
    p5-Test-Harness-2.26, and the latter is missing? old? unknown?

    And I think it is trying to tell me that a possible replacement is
    p5-Test-Simple-0.47. How do I tell if it is correct?
