I use pkg_info -Rr <pkg_name>, where <pkg_name> is the exact name of the package. The -Rr options will tell you what the package depends on, and what depends on the package. To find the exact package name, I do (for example) pkg_info | grep firefox, which returns: firefox-1.5.0.1_1,1 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla ...and the I know to do pkg_info -Rr firefox-1.5.0.1_1,1 HTH. -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging <|> ]
