Pgk upgrade solver problems

[Paul Pathiakis]

I was hoping that it would clear it all like it did on one of my machines.

However, on  the other.... well, I deinstalled all the questionable 
packages and reinstalled them.  I believe it's a problem with pkg, as 
the other machine was PCBSD.

Let me check the thread....

Ok... found it.  It was between myself and another guy.

pkg upgrade -f

Let me know.  Remember, it's the *BSD community, everyone is here to help.

P.

It did clean up a lot at that point, but there were still 1 or 2.
