@ -89,5 +89,16 @@ packages needed by 'foo'. 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.
