I was using the postfix port, but decided to replace it with ssmtp to reduce ports in use and simplify system updating (deleting postfix with pkg_delete). Is it possible that deleting postfix will leave ports installed that aren't required anymore? Will pkg_delete also delete any dependencies no longer required? If I could have ports still installed that aren't required anymore? How can I find them now? Portmaster? All the information I could find related to finding dependencies for a port, not for finding installed ports that don't have parent dependencies. Is it possible to invoke "pkg_info -R" on all ports and filter the output? TIA, Dale
