I haven't run into it, but this might be useful information, and it might be related actually. pkg_add -u is supposed to look at new packages, and in that case it should have noticed libnettle, so went back to the loop that does dependencies first (as libnettle wasn't solvable yet). The fact that it didn't looks like either the tracker or the cache being wrong. I've known for long that the "infamous cups update bug" is one of those two things not working in the right order. This specific dependency breaking things might help me tracking down where the error occurs.
