To me it is entirely unclear.  First of all, I don't know what "stale  
dependency" is supposed to mean.  Second, I don't know what "score"  
means, and finally, I don't know what the question is that I'm to  
answer yes, no or all to.

So I've just taken to running with -Fa and hope for the best (and so  
far everything has worked).

If the answers to these questions are in the man page for pkgdb, I  
apologize, but I haven't found them there.

Cheers,
