Ok, I've delete linux-base, now portupgrade says:
Stale dependency: linux-realplayer-8.cs2_5 --> linux_base-7.1_7 -- manually 
run'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force.

I'm still have trouble understanding what to do when portupgrade asks me this 
sort thing - well sometimes it's obvious, but often not. Should I just use -O 
or should I fix the dependency?
