What I failed to mention was that at this point if I ran 'portmaster irssi-scripts' to reinstall that port, the dependency on perl5.12 would remain after irssi-scripts had been reinstalled. Initially I thought this was because irssi-scripts depends on irssi, which also at the time had dependencies on both perl5.12 & perl5.14. So then I ran 'portmaster irssi' to reinstall irssi, but the perl5.12 dependency still remained. At that point I got frustrated and just ran 'pkg del' on all of them, then began reinstalling them again. > I think this is a bug with portmaster.

I've since read the man page for 'pkg set' which has: # pkg set -o lang/perl5.12:lang/perl5.14 which I think is the correct order. So I'll make a note of that. But hopefully I won't have to do that again. > This runs a query in the pkg sqlite database and update dependencies. > This clearly didn't happen for you yet, so thats where your errors come > from. Well I think it worked correctly for most ports, just those few that I listed earlier remained problematic and I couldn't figure out why. I've since tried to replicate it in a VM and got nowhere. Everything worked OK, so I'm a bit baffled.
