Thank you very much. You explained it perfectly, and I understand the logic behind protecting dependents. Also, now that I think about it, since a dependency-port may have multiple dependents, killing a given port's dependencies may do unforeseen harm since that dependency may have OTHER dependents. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
