I can't recall having installed it by myself Did you install mysql-server with default options?

simple question...how to show packages which depend upon a particular port
Hi peeps, I'm almost ashamed to ask this BUT I really don't know how to find the packages which depend upon a particular port. In this case, a portversion -l "<" showed mysql-client in that list. I can't recall having installed it by myself I wanted to know what the packages are which depend on it. Can somebody show me this command..and if it will be a RTFM answer, please tell me which FM:-) Thanks Cheap talk? Check out Yahoo!
