'pkg deinstall -R pkgname' deletes pkgname and everything that requires pkgname, which is 90% of what you need. The remaining 10% can be cleaned up by: pkg autoremove This deletes packages that were installed solely to fulfill the dependencies of pkgname -- if you're building your packages locally with portmaster / portupgrade or similar, it should try and remove any build dependencies[*] too, which may or may not be what you want. Also, it won't remove a package if something else has subsequently been installed that also requires it. Cheers, Matthew [*] pkg(8) only ever considers run-time dependencies. --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
