FreeBSD 5.2 installed from the cd a couple of weeks ago:
I guess I've stepped into it, somehow... the sequence was:
# cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile
# pkgdb -F
# portupgrade -a
The failure appeared to be the result

OK, read UPDATING & here's the drill:
Steps 1) & 2) went OK, but then:
# portupgrade -f lang/ruby18
Stale dependency: ruby-1.8.1_2

In the continuing saga of the portupgrade...
portupgrade -a finally halted with 2 errors, and 54 skipped packages
The first error was a fetch error. I fixed it with a portupgrade "pkgname"
The second was with gtk20. I first tried "portupgrade gtk20", but was informed
to try "make deinstall" & "

So portupgrade prompted me to run 'pkgdb -F'... to fix a "stale" dependency. I
complied, typed the requisite command at the prompt, and received the
following in return:
---> Checking the package registry database
Stale dependency: eel2-2.4.1 -> gtk-2.2.4_1 (x11-toolkits/gtk20):
gtk-1.2.10_11 (
