Re: pkg_cutleaves - a bit too efficient

Hi


Portupgrade doesn't bring anything back though.


what options are you passing to portupgrade?  If you run portupgrade with
certain flags, it will recursively go through all the dependencies for that
package and install them if it finds them missing or if they are outdated.

portupgrade -ri package_name or portupgrade -Rpv package_name

will ensure that all the dependencies are sorted out.

man portupgrade.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.

Try portmanager. Install portmanager from ports and run portmanager -s 
 somefile to see what is missing, portmanager -u to repair it. There 
are some other switches in the man page.


Of course if you removed something that nothing else depends on then 
even portmanager won't repair it :)

You will have to reinstall whatever packages you mistakenly removed. 
Once they are removed, they are gone for good.  If you removed parts of 
GNOME, try reinstalling the x11/gnome2 port.
