New dependency? (? to help): ?
Display all 283 possibilities? (y or n)

When I get them all I still have no idea what to do <chuckles>

And until I resolve it I cannot use portupgrade -a because

it insists I

resolve this one... OK I am frustrated as well as ignorant <grinz>

At the "New dependency? (? to help): ?" hit ^D (ctrl D) then rebuild
samba-libsmbclient-3.0.23d.

Thanks Beech

I do not understand how to reach such a conclusion but yr help is most
appreciated. I tried something which seemed to satisgy pkgdb but will no
doubt have negative repercussions later -- I chose krb5-1.5.1_1 as the new
dependency -- and had a a report Fixws! No doubt it was the wrongchoice
but I now have portupgrade working.. unless I hear anything from you to the
contrary when this run is done I will follow your instructions and trust
it all works out in the end..

ps where in alaska are you? I spend quite a few years in the South East

^d deletes the dependency entirely and rebuilding the port in question will
(hopefully) re establish the proper one. I've used this when it was not
desirable to pkg_delete and rebuild the port. You might also take a look at
the "-O" option. See man(1) portupgrade.

I'm in Anchorage.
