also from man pkg_delete (in the "TECHNICAL DETAILS" section): "If a package is required by other installed packages not mentioned in thelist of packages to remove, pkg_delete will list those dependent packages and refuse to delete the package. Perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but it looks to as though the pkgs you want to keep will have all of their dependencies when you done trimming. > > Best, > Luis Useche > use...@gmail.com
