There are cases that portupgrade doesn't appear to handle. An upgrade
to qt and kde at the same time was another one. Portupgrade of qt
tried to start with kdebase instead of kdelibs and the build of
kdebase failed. You could portupgrade qt and then recursively upgrade
kdelibs.
The current dependancy list for portupgrade is
opal# search portupgrade
Port: portupgrade-20020921
Path: /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
Info: Very powerful FreeBSD ports/packages upgrading tool and more
Maint: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Index: sysutils
B-deps: ruby-1.6.7.2002.09.12
R-deps: ruby-1.6.7.2002.09.12 ruby-bdb1-0.1.7
ruby-shim-ruby18-1.7.3.2002.09.12
It is almost easier to pkg_delete the old list and just manually build
and install portupgrade-20020921.
