Hi all,
Since a few days see a number of orphaned packages (FreeBSD10 and own poudriere Server).

Code: 
#/usr/sbin/pkg update -q && /usr/sbin/pkg version -vRL=
Updating repository catalogue
libcheck-0.9.13                    ?   orphaned: devel/libcheck
net-snmp-5.7.2_12                  ?   orphaned: net-mgmt/net-snmp
snmptt-1.3                         ?   orphaned: net-mgmt/snmptt
zabbix22-proxy-2.2.3_1             ?   orphaned: net-mgmt/zabbix22-proxy
However, this does not help.
Code: 
# pkg upgrade && pkg clean && pkg autoremove
Updating repository catalogue

Hi @kpa,
Thanks for your help here, but I have nothing change here. Maybe it's because that I use latest development poudriere version. A few days ago there was an update for this.

I would guess it's more because of the recent churn in the ports tree where lot of the dependencies got changed. The result in your case was probably that many packages that you have installed now are no longer needed at run time. Try running pkg autoremove and see if it suggest removing any of those now orphaned packages.
