So, the above is exactly what I wanted. Ok, so you may want x-org-server deleted, by what about some other dependency that your unwanted app shares with some port you really do want to keep around? I find pkg_cutleaves handy. It will loop through all the leaves of your dependency tree (all ports that do not have any other ports dependant on them), and asks if you want to keep or delete it. After the ports tree is cleaned up, it will ask you to repeat the process for any ports that may have become leaves as a result of the previous iteration. When I look through the pkg_info list, I usually don't know what all the installed ports do, I why I need it. But i usually do know if I need a leaf or not.

I installed 'feh' thinking wrongly it was a console app and ended up getting x, xlibs etc etc when all I wanted was a console app to view jpgs in elinks. So, the above is exactly what I wanted. btw Does any one know a good console app to view jpgs ? seejpeg just flashes the screen several time and dies. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Are you sure you are feedin it the correct information? Try this: pkg_info -Ix PROGRAM_NAME (-> gives you the exact installed version of PROGRAM_NAME installed.) Now feed that to: pkg_delete -vdfr PROGRAM_NAME That should do it. -- Gerard Mail from '@gmail' is rejected and/or discarded here.

Re: simple question...how to show packages which depend upon
Graham Bentley írta: And ... how to remove a package and all the packages it sucked in ? All I get from pkg_delete that it isnt even installed when I know it is because that was the previous command I just ran !!! Can you please send us the commands that you have executed? If you used "pkg_add -r " then the name of the package can be a general package name, without version number. This is useful since usually you are not sure what is the latest version, you just want to install it. Here is an example: messias# pkg_add -r mc Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.1-release/Latest/mc.tbz... Done. pkg_add: package 'mc-4.6.1_3' or its older version already installed However, if you add a package that is saved locally, you need to type in its full name (or path): pkg_add mc-4.6.1_3.tbz or something similar. Once you have the package/port installed, you can lookup its full name with pkg_which: messias# pkg_which mc mc-4.6.1_4 When you need to delete a package, you need to specify the full name (including the version number). The reason for this is easy: it is possible to have different versions of the same package installed at the same time. (Well, this is not true for some packages, but it is true for others...) So instead of doing: pkg_delete mc you should use: pkg_delete mc-4.6.1_4 I hope this answers your question. If it does, then probably reading these man pages will help you a LOT: portupgrade(1) pkg_add(1) pkg_deinstall(1) pkg_delete(1) pkg_glob(1) pkg_info(1) pkg_sort(1) pkg_update(1) pkgdb(1) ports_glob(1) portsclean(1) portsdb(1) portversion(1) pkgtools.conf(5) ports(7) Best, Laszlo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Did you install mysql-server with default options? Actually, in
mysql51-server port, there is no option to disable install of the
client portion.

Here are some of the ways not requiring connection to Internet I
know ...
- running "make -V {LIB,RUN,BUILD}_DEPENDS" in a port directory
also lists the appropriate type of dependency list, so would
running "make pretty-print-{run,build}-depends-list";
- pkg_info(1) w/ -[rR] options lists the dependencies for given
ports|packages;
- ${PORTSDIR:-/usr/ports}/INDEX* lists dependencies for each port
(which may need post processing to be human readable);
- sysutils/pkg_tree port creates text tree of the dependencies;
As for FM, see ...
- pkg_info(1) & pkg_tree(7) man pages;
- ${PORTSDIR:-/usr/ports}/Mk/bsd.port.mk
- Parv

simple question...how to show packages which depend upon a particular port
Hi peeps, I'm almost ashamed to ask this BUT I really don't know how to find the packages which depend upon a particular port. In this case, a portversion -l "<" showed mysql-client in that list. I can't recall having installed it by myself I wanted to know what the packages are which depend on it. Can somebody show me this command..and if it will be a RTFM answer, please tell me which FM:-) Thanks Cheap talk? Check out Yahoo!
