The system does not automatically clean up dependencies for you. If you uninstall a package that leave dependencies behind, you'll have to clean them up yourself. > If it does, how can I remove those quickly with a pkg_* command?

It solves these problems if you always use it to uninstall software. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
