well.. if you issue a `pkg_info -r pkg_name` command you will see all the packages that the package pkg_name depends on.. As for ports' management I'd recommend installing sysutils/portupgrade some people like sysutils/portmanager better though.. but I can't really say I'm familliar with that though.. the portupgrade port is a set of utilities to help you manage your installed ports.. it's got pkg_deinstall which seems to have what you seek pkg_deinstall -R would deinstall a package's dependencies as well _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
