How about I try:
pkg_deinstall -fr ruby-fnmatch
I tried pkg_deinstall ruby-fnmatch and it returned:
<snip>
scsibox# pkg_deinstall ruby-fnmatch
---> Deinstalling 'ruby-fnmatch-1.1b_1'
pkg_delete: package 'ruby-fnmatch-1.1b_1' is required by these other pack=
ages
and may not be deinstalled:
portupgrade-20020429
portupgrade-20020429
portupgrade-20020429
** The following packages were not deinstalled (*:skipped / !:failed)
! ruby-fnmatch-1.1b_1 (pkg_delete failed)
</snip>
Or, would leaving the -r off work better?
Aftwards, I could try reinstalling portupgrade. I feel safe that about i=
t not=20
deleting anything I need. But, I wonder how good portupgrade would be at=
=20
uninstalling itself.
