I have a similar problem with gnu-automake, it seems to be required by
the kde meta port:
# pkg_info | grep kde-3
kde-3.5.7 The "meta-port" for KDE
kdeartwork-xscreensaver-kde-3.5.7 Support for xscreensaver blankers in KDE
# pkg_info | grep gnu-aut
gnu-automake-1.10 GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (GNU unmodified)
# portupgrade -a
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/devel/gnu-automake
** Package 'gnu-automake' has been removed from ports tree.
** Port marked as IGNORE: graphics/ImageMagick:
Presence of FPX breaks self-tests. Disable FPX or disable automatic
tests.
# ll /usr/ports/devel/gnu-automake
ls: /usr/ports/devel/gnu-automake: No such file or directory
# pkgdb -Ff

Stale origin: 'devel/gnu-automake': perhaps moved or obsoleted.
-> The port 'devel/gnu-automake' was removed on 2007-09-10 because:
"No longer required with new autotools system"
-> Hint: gnu-automake-1.10 is required by the following package(s):
kde-3.5.7
-> Hint: checking for overwritten files...
-> No files installed by gnu-automake-1.10 have been overwritten by other
packages.
Deinstall gnu-automake-1.10 ? [no] yes
---> Deinstalling 'gnu-automake-1.10'
pkg_delete: package 'gnu-automake-1.10' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
kde-3.5.7
** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed)

Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/local/sbin/pkg_deinstall gnu-automake-1.10
I managed to get rid of gnu-autoconf by answering no to "deinstall?"
It then asked if I wanted to unregister it:
Unregister any of them? [no] yes
Unregister gnu-autoconf-2.61 keeping the installed files intact? [no] yes
-> gnu-automake-1.10 is kept.
--> Saving the gnu-autoconf-2.61's +CONTENTS file as
/var/db/pkg/gnu-automake-1.10/+CONTENTS.gnu-autoconf-2.61
--> Unregistering gnu-autoconf-2.61
--> Done.

Stale dependency: gnu-automake-1.10 -> gnu-autoconf-2.61 (devel/gnu-autoconf):
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/devel/gnu-automake
-> Deleted. (irrelevant)
Stale dependency: kde-3.5.7 -> gnu-autoconf-2.61 (devel/gnu-autoconf):
-> Deleted. (irrelevant)
But I don't get asked to unregister gnu-automake.
Can I force it, without breaking anything, somehow?

Thanks, John.
