Which, by the way, is what the owner of the machine is seeing. He's listed the ports that were installed by running pkg_info, and is laboriously visiting each one's directory and trying to do a "make deinstall". But it's refusing to delete things due to dependency issues. I'm not sure, but I'll bet that the dependencies here aren't a clean, hierarchical tree but rather more of a "web". If there's a circular dependency, he's stuck. Again, I really find it hard to believe that there would be no provision for deleting a port AND the ports on which it depends cleanly. I tend to use a minimal number of ports and packages, and so didn't realize that this was such a difficult thing until now. --Brett _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
