Doug,

the user probably stuck to a ports/UPDATING entry, 20110823, written by
gnome@ (cc'd).

(Do we need to audit ports/UPDATING altogether for such misdirections?)


Perhaps this behaviour could change in a future version of portmaster,
in order to avoid rebuilding ports twice that depend on "both"...  I've
been longing for such a feature more than once and usually resorted to
"update just the ports, then figure out/update dependent ports with
pkg_libchk".
