Stale dependency can't be fixed loop

[ashemedai]

On my current system (FreeBSD 9-STABLE) I have the following issue:

# portupgrade -f gdk\*
[Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... USING PKGNG
- 404 packages found (-0 +0)  done]
USING PKGNG
Stale dependency: gdk-pixbuf-2.23.5_3 --> libGL-7.6.1_2 -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force.

# pkgdb -vF
USING PKGNG
pkgdb -F not supported with PKGNG yet. Use 'pkg check' directly.

# pkg check -Bdvx gdk.\*
Checking dependencies: gdk-pixbuf
Reanalyzing files for shlibs: gdk-pixbuf

And from this it repeats from the top again.

Interesting to note that libGL-7.6.1_1 was installed. You'd think that it would at least trigger the build dependency to the point where it tries to install, only to notice it's already installed (albeit with a lower version number).

Your pkgdb looks stale, try rebuilding it: pkgdb -fu

[ashemedai]

OK, I'll try that when I encounter the issue again, right now I managed to "fix" it by simply portupgrading libGL to get the _1 to _2 increase. It's just that I got this error after I did the whole conversion to pkgng, which included pkgtools switching my pkgdb around for pkgng as well. So that would mean it went stale fast.

Feel free to close it if you believe it's not a real issue with pkgtools, but more a pebkac. I'll come knocking again when I encounter it. ;)

I'll leave it open. The integration of pkgdb -F and pkg check is terrible right now. Some improvements are needed in pkg check, as well as portupgrade not bothering with keeping a pkgdb when using pkgng (#41)

Specifying the -O flag here should also fix this.

This has also been reported at ports/175841

I've updated ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel with a fix. Mind testing it?
