I guess pkg_delete -r portname is not what he asked for since it well deinstall all those depending on the given package/port. He wants to einstall all those required by the given package/port. for example gmake-3.80_2 # pkg_info -r gmake-3.80_2 Information for gmake-3.80_2: Depends on: Dependency: libiconv-1.9.2_1 Dependency: gettext-0.14.4_1 # pkg_delete -r gmake-3.80_2 This well only remove gmake-3.80_2 but not what gmake depends on to run (libiconv and gettext) and to build (libtool) There are alos build dependenies that would not be removed since they are only required to build the package/port but not to run it (libtool for example is required to build gmake but not to run it). I use portupgrade and its tools to install/remove packages/ports. for example if I want to remove gmake and all it's 'RUN' dependencies (libiconv and gettext) # pkg_deinstall -iR gmake This well prompt for each step to remove gmake and ports needed to run it but libtool well not get removed or asked for to be removed since it is not required to run gmake. There are many tools in /usr/ports/sysutils that well help you remove packages/ports not required to run allready installed ports/packages. pkg_cutleaves pkg_rmleaves portmanager portupgrade My favorite all is portupgrade since it has many utilities for example pkg_deinstall Try to install portupgrade then # pkg_deinstall -iR sqwebmail the -i option request confirmation for each package removal The -R option Deinstall all those required by the given packages as well. Aftrer removing sqwebmail it well ask you to remove - courier-authlib-base-0.56 - ispell-3.2.06_13 as well perl and/or other dependencies so don't forget to answer with no for packages you need. -- Kind regards Abu Khaled ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Complete Port Removal Question
I would suggest using portmanager. There is a method in there for displaying leaves, or installed packages in from the ports tree that have no dependencies, and allow you to safely remove them. I'd say uninstall the software you don't want to remove, then have portmanager show you the leaves that are left, and remove the leaves. On Thu, 16 Jun 2005, M.
