Portupgrade not handling dependencies

Hi,
There are few steps I may suggest to you:
1. Update CVS, i.e. use cvsup -L 2 -g
2. cd /usr/ports && make fetchindex
3. portsdb -fr && pkgdb -Ffv
4. portupdate -v -i -a -y
If the same problem still exists there is a not so clean step to make:
1. cd multimedia/ffmpeg
2. FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes make install clean
3. portsdb -fr && pkgdb -Ffv
4. portupdate -v -i -a -y
Repeat the above for every mismatched port. I know, it is not clean, but
once you fix all necessary ports - there will be no problems in the future
:)

Re: Portupgrade not handling dependencies
Actually, the bsdpan package is not the issue here. I was aware it
wouldn't update that(no port for this perl module yet anyway).
If you notice, it doesn't proceed to install ffmpeg, i force it
to(highlighted by ************):

It should upgrade ffmpeg automatically, but doesn't and that is the issue.
