HI

Thanks sorry I should have mentioned I tried that and got:
[root at dns1 /var/db/pkg/bsdpan-Pod-Perldoc-3.15]# pkg_delete bsdpan-Pod-Perldoc
pkg_delete: no such package 'bsdpan-Pod-Perldoc' installed

The following pkgdb -fF
just produces the Stale dependency report (see above) after having previously 
shown it has mmissing origin..

I cannot trace an origin for this!!
