If pkg_delete fails on any one of the packages in the list, recurse through its dependencies until it can be deleted, then proceed to the next package in the list, etc...

Not all packages that cvsup depends on is required only by cvsup, and some of them were probably already installed when you installed cvsup. Like I said, your best bet is to go with the sysutils/portupgrade method. This is generally sound advice, but unfortunately, and particularly in the case of the cvsup ports, it pretty much misses the point. cvsup depends on very few other ports, all of which are also commonly dependencies of a large number of other ports: % pkg_info -r cvsup\* Information for cvsup-16.1h: Depends on: Dependency: pkgconfig-0.15.0_1 Dependency: imake-6.7.0_2 Dependency: freetype2-2.1.7_3 Dependency: expat-1.95.8 Dependency: fontconfig-2.2.3,1 Dependency: xorg-libraries-6.7.0_1 In fact, almost all those dependencies are inherited indirectly through the xorg-libraries port. The cvsup-without-gui package doesn't have *any* dependencies. Chances are the 'pkg_deinstall -R' method suggested will only remove the cvsup or cvsup-without-gui port. Of course, what I've been looking at here are *run time dependencies*. If you install cvsup from a pkg, that's all you have to bother with. However, if you install cvsup from source code there's a whole other swathe of dependencies that haven't yet been considered. Those are the *build time dependencies*. In cvsup's case, those are quite heavy: it's necessary to install a complete Modula3 compilation tool chain: % cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup % make -V BUILD_DEPENDS /usr/local/lib/m3/pkg/formsvbt/FreeBSD4/libm3formsvbt.a:/usr/ports/lang/ezm3 The situation has improved over time, and all that's required nowadays is the ezm3 port. But that's a very large port, and it takes quite a lot of effort to compile and install. You don't need ezm3 for cvsup to work from day to day. You do need it anytime you want to compile an update to cvsup from source. In principal you can get round that by just using the pkg system to get any updates, so long as you're willing to wait for a few weeks for the updated packages to come out. Personally I'd just leave ezm3 inplace and compile cvsup updates from source. As for whether the OP should install cvsup or cvsup-without-gui -- either will do just fine. The advice to install the cvsup-without-gui pkg seen in many places on the net is becuse it's a lot quicker to install that dependency-less port than it is to install various X libraries and other stuff. Additionally I'd install cvsup-without-gui if I was building a server machine *without* any X windows stuff on it at all. Otherwise, I'd just install the cvsup port. Indeed, for a brand-new install from scratch, I tend to install cvsup-without-gui temporarily and then use it to pull down the latest system and ports sources. After which that port will almost immediately be overwritten with a freshly compiled copy of the cvsup port as part of the general process of installing all of the extra ports I need.
