the answer here is that portupgrade no longer depends upon pkg_tarup. it
USED to. left over from portupgrades from days of old is:
monkey@smacky:~% grep pkg_tarup /var/db/pkg/portupgrade-20020920/+CONTENTS
@pkgdep pkg_tarup-1.2_3
@comment DEPORIGIN:sysutils/pkg_tarup
so, when you portupgraded portupgrade (gah!), it happily went and
retained that old info.
now, you can either:
sed -i -E -e '/^@(.*)pkg_tarup/d' /var/db/pkg/portupgrade-20020920/+CONTENTS
or just do the pkg_deinstall, which will handle the removal of all those
dependency issues. by issuing pkg_info -R pkg_tarup-1.2_3 you can see
any other packages which depend upon pkg_tarup. and there shouldn't be
any others.
