Running: FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #0: Thu Aug  2 03:23:18 EDT 2007

Following the 20070913 xorg-7.3 update and using
portupgrade-devel, pkgdb -L gave the following:

# pkgdb -L
[Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... -
838 packages found (-0 +1) . done] Look for lost
dependencies: HVSC-Update-2.8.3: ok
/bin/sh:Argument list too long
can't convert nil into String
ImageMagick-6.3.3.5_1: #

Seen the cyclic deps issue too, I csup'ed new port
sources and made a new index, and updated xorg and
ports again after the   
1.202     +1 -2  ports/x11-toolkits/gtk20/Makefile commit.

While pkgdb -F is clean, I still see the same results
when issuing pkgdb -L: 
[Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... -
838 packages found (-0 +1) . done] Look for lost
dependencies: HVSC-Update-2.8.3: ok 
/bin/sh:Argument list
too long can't convert nil into String
ImageMagick-6.3.3.5_1: #

Thinking this may be attributed to portupgrade-devel -- I
deinstalled it, installed portupgrade-2.3.1,2.
Still, I am seeing the same output from pkgdb -L, is anyone
else seeing this?

I'm just wondering what state my deps are in now.

Thanks, 
Rob
