Ok, I've delete linux-base, now portupgrade says: Stale dependency: linux-realplayer-8.cs2_5 --> linux_base-7.1_7 -- manually run'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force. I'm still have trouble understanding what to do when portupgrade asks me this sort thing - well sometimes it's obvious, but often not. Should I just use -O or should I fix the dependency?
