Use the ``-v'' option. ---end quoted text--- Wow, I didn't know that existed. But that brings up a new problem... Sometimes I've got two versions of the same program. How can I safely get rid of older versions if the older version is required by other programs? Here's an example: libslang-1.2.2,1.4.0 ? multiple versions (index has 1.4.0) But if I try to remove version 1.2.2 with pkg_delete I get: pkg_delete: package libslang-1.2.2' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled: slrn-0.9.5.7 jed-0.98.7 I'll get this eventually... -- David Kanter djkanter@nwu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
