pkg question...
Is there a way to remove a package and the dependencies that only said package uses? For example, I have package A which depends on B, C and D. Furthermore, I have package E depends on C. I want to get ride of package A in such a way as packages B and D get deleted too but not package C. Can this be done at all? I've looked at portsclean and libchk but neither really suits what I want. Unless I have mis-read something.

You still need some way to work out what dependencies were installed by the first package. You could try looking at pkg_deinstall -R (part of portupgrade). BTW, if you compiled the package, it could have installed build-time dependencies that aren't recorded as requirements and I don't know any easy way to find/delete them. -- Peter Jeremy ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You still need some way to work out what dependencies were installed by the first package. But I think it can be made to do what Yann wants. You can pkg_delete the original package/port (A as he described it). Then run pkg_rmleaves (possibly more than once) and it will delete B and D, but keep C because it's not a leaf. If you have any leaf packages that you don't want to delete, you need to be careful of those. Perhaps run pkg_rmleaves before deleting A and note any pre-existing leaves.
