>Description:
In a new, clean pkgsrc installation, I did the following:

$ pkg_add pkglint-4.87.tgz
[...]
$ pkg_delete -r perl
[...]

This did exactly what I expected. Then, I did:

$ pkg_add pkglint-4.87.tgz
[...]
$ pkg_add -u pkglint-4.91.tgz
[...]
$ pkg_delete -r perl
[...]

Now, pkglint is still installed, but all its dependencies are gone. This is 
because "pkg_add -u" removed the old dependency (pkglint-4.87) from 
p5-Digest-SHA1/+REQUIRED_BY, but didn't add the new dependency (pkglint-4.91).
