When I have to remove a package manually as part of an upgrade, I use "pkg_delete -f", so it doesn't matter. When I prune ports I use "portmanager -slid" which doesn't rely on +REQUIRED_BY, and provides additional protection against build-dependency deletion which you don't get from pkg_delete. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
