Hi Kris,

Tks for your advice.

One thing I could not resolve on removing
'automake-1.5.1'

(without cd /usr/ports/)

# pkg_delete -r automake
pkg_delete: no such package 'automake' installed

# pkg_info | grep automake
automake-1.5,1      GNU Standards-compliant Makefile
generator

# pkg_delete -r automake-1.5.1
pkg_delete: no such package 'automake-1.5.1' installed
localhost# pkg_delete automake-1.5.1
pkg_delete: no such package 'automake-1.5.1' installed

# pkg_delete automake
pkg_delete: no such package 'automake' installed

Kindly advise

B.R.
Stephen
