I saw recent changes regarding dependency checks in the port tools. I'm not saying they caused issues (not even possible as they happened after my last upgrade). I only include you in case they were made because of of a similar issue (as in my lack of those patches resulting in me hitting those problems). All in all I have an environment where I can reproduce reliably removing dependencies that are still needed and the tooling trying to add them back (realizing that they are indeed needed). > pkg_check ? it should tell you if you have actual dependencies issues. Yes I did try pkg_check before and as noted in previous emails it is the tool that confirmed that I'm missing a chunk of dependencies. https://gist.github.com/mulander/22bd38d5c6515decef71 That gist is a sample pkg_check output from a single tool after pkg_delete from a previous run. Plus me running gnome control center to confirm that those libs are actually missing. After that I was running pkg_add -u which added the missing dependencies back to the system. I'm not doubting that the libs are missing and that causes problems. What I'm worried about is pkg_delete -a removing them even though they are used.
