pkg_delete -f lynx-ssl-2.8.5

and rerun portmanager, don't forget the "-f".

Basically portmanager needs the  lynx-ssl-2.8.5 package out of the way
so it can get lynx-2.8.5 installed, but when you just run 
pkg_delete lynx-ssl-2.8.5 with no "-f" it does not get removed
because  imp-3.2.6,  kronolith-1.1.2,  and wv-1.0.0_2
were built with lynx-ssl-2.8.5 originally and still need it installed.  

After you "force" the removal of lynx-ssl-2.8.5 with the "-f" switch 
portmanager should end up rebuilding imp-3.2.6,  kronolith-1.1.2,  and 
wv-1.0.0_2 with  lynx-2.8.5 instead of  lynx-ssl-2.8.5 and all of that
mess of ports should be happy once again because in the end they will
all have a matching dependency of  lynx-2.8.5 instead of  
lynx-ssl-2.8.5.

I upgraded portmanager recently so the output during portmanager -u is a 
little easier to follow, whenever the FreeBSD folks get around to 
commiting the new version I am hoping it will be easier for you to 
follow what is going on.
