Well, as allway I tried to upgrade without reading /usr/ports/UPDATING
before -). I usually go there only, if something goes wrong.

But this time, I did not even read UPDATING though I suddenly found
that the old docbook packages where still shown with "pkg version" but
where no longer installed: They have been marked as "orphaned
packages". At the same time I found missing dependencies. I manually
deinstalled the orphaned packages and installed the new docbook packages
and have run into next problems because docbook-utils could not be
upgraded.

And all the above problems occured right after having had trouble
because KDE could not be upgraded due to an error in docbook-xml.

Well, all together a lot of trouble with docbook packages. But now all
docbook related problems are solved and all packages are up to date
without portmaster/pkg detecting any dependency errors.

By the way: I am running FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE with Bash as login shell
for root.
