Interpreting `pkgdb -F' output

I've run `pkgdb -F' prior to using portupgrade to update some ports. The 
obvious stuff, such as dependency versions being bumped, I've dealt with 
as they were pretty much self-explanatory but I'm left with these few.

The manpage doesn't offer any explanation and I can't find anything else 
useful.

How do I interpret this output? The first one for example seems to me to 
be telling me that digikam-0.5.1 depends on openldap-client-2.1.23 but 
it wants to change that dependency to open-motif-2.2.2_2, which doesn't 
make much sense.
