Where this dependency is recorded? 2. Even if so, why the dependency *should* be changed. I.e. what harm it may do? I ask those questions because I'd like to understand FreeBSD ports system and behaviour deeper than I do now. And, maybe, to change/fix existing tools if needed. As I understand now the stale dependency is recorded at packages. But there is absolutely no harm with stale dependencies for tools like pkg_add. Then there is a /var/db/pkg database. The tool like portmaster fix all needed dependencies (if needed). -- WBR, bsam
