[wplug-bsd] ports aren't upgrading

I think I forgot how to do something. First of all, there have been a lot
of insecurities reported recently in ports I have installed (I'm up to 10
now) and I was going to fix some of them tonight. But when I tried to
portupgrade xpdf, I got the report of a stale dependency. It said to "run
pkgdb -F to fix", except pkgdb -F just asks me what to do about the
dependency, and I don't know.
Then I got anxious about my package database not getting updated
automatically, and I couldn't find anywhere in my /etc/periodic directory
where pkgdb was run, even though I was almost *certain* that it was
running regularly. It's not in /etc/crontab, and:
$ cd /etc/periodic
$ grep -ri pkgdb *
$
gives no results. Does this get done somewhere else? Is my package
database not getting updated?
And what do I do about the failed dependencies? Here's the output from
pkgdb -F:
[root at ocean periodic]# pkgdb -F
