prt-get update doesn't work here, as it doesn't re-evaluate the (sometimes changing) dependencies of a port once it's installed. It does work in the way it's meant to work, due to the dependency model CRUX has applied so far: dependencies are not enforced, and there's no way to tell whether the user ignored a dependency in the past or whether it was added to the port recently. It's a design choice. Using a more strict model for dependencies would make this awkwardness go away, however users' wishes have gone in the opposite direction, which was the reason why the --ignore option was added to explicitely allow users to omit dependencies in dependency calculations.
