Hi Zhang,
you basically want to remove "leaves" from the package tree - install
pkg_cutleaves from ports :
pkg_cutleaves-20061113 Interactive script for deinstalling 'leaf' packages
I suggest you run it interactively, as well as creating a file with exclusions
(there are some leaves that you want to keep of course). I run it as :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [Tue Jun 26 20:43:55 2007]
/usr/home/betom
$ cat bin/show_pkg_leaves.sh
#!/bin/sh
pkg_cutleaves -xcl
For something htat is part of the extant base:
# pkg_delete -rd quack-bark-9.9.9
Though you may want to add -n the first go.
