OK, Sergey, thank you much for the response.

As always, problems get fixed when people spend the time to work on  
them.
If you could use more information from me, I'd be happy to provide

Although, as I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, deleting all of the  
ports, and installing ldconfig_compat by hand worked.

Right.

Should pkgdb not change the origin until after the port it thinks is  
the new dependency actually is installed?
