Interesting ...  I think that can only happen if you have
a corrupt dependency entry somewhere.  If that's the case,
this shell command will print the file in question:

awk '/^@pkgdep/ && NF < 2 {print FILENAME}' /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS

It will print the names of files from the package database
that contain an empty "@pkgdep" line.  This is probably the
cause of the "list index out of range" error message.

Best regards
