Hi, Just idle curiosity here... If I run 'pkg_deinstall' on a port that another port depends on, it will refuse to deinstall the port and tell me the name(s) of then ports that depend on the one I want to deinstall. If I run 'pkg_deinstall -n' on that same port, it doesn't tell me that it would refuse to desinstall. For example, samba requires cups-base.... [root@larry ~]# pkg_deinstall -n cups-base ---> Deinstalling 'cups-base-1.1.19.0' ---> Reporting the results (+:done / -:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed)=20 + cups-base-1.1.19.0 [root@larry ~]# pkg_deinstall cups-base ---> Deinstalling 'cups-base-1.1.19.0' pkg_delete: package 'cups-base-1.1.19.0' is required by these other Packages and may not be deinstalled: samba-3.0.0.b3,1 ** The following packages were not deinstalled (*:skipped / !:failed) ! cups-base-1.1.19.0 (pkg_delete failed) Is there a way to make "pkg_deinstall -n" stop lying?
