User ppetrov^ has contributed some helper scripts to facilitate the fixing of these broken binaries; visit the site [2] to download them. +In handling any new hard dependencies added by the maintainer since +the previous version of a package, pkg-get performs a sysup in the same +manner as the original prt-get (i.e., new dependencies are not injected +by default). Perhaps in future versions it will be the default to perform +automatic injection of new dependencies, which is easy with binary packages +since there's no need to carry out the installation in any particular order. +In the meantime, you can check the output of +'pkg-get depends $mypkg | grep "\[ \]"' +for each package affected by a sysup, in order to see whether the +maintainer has added new dependencies. + [1] https://git.sdf.org/jmq/Documentation/src/branch/master/scripts/prt-auf [2] https://github.com/slackalaxy/depsck
