Hello,
I recently decided to clean up my desktop machine of unused packages etc. I've
been running release/stable on this machine since around the OpenBSD 6.2 era.
The machine has been upgraded over the years all the way to 6.9. I'm not sure
that it's relevant, but I've regularly run sysclean in an effort to keep my
install clean and fresh.
When running "pkg_info -m", within the output list I am shown a number of
random dependencies which I did not manually install. Is there a way to remove
the "manually installed" tag from these library/dependency packages to allow
them to potentially be cleaned up by "pkg_delete -a"?
