I was wondering - are all three truly necessary for any compatability issues? Or would I be able to get rid of the first two? Also, if I *DO* try to pkg_delete the first two, I get messages declaring dependencies on those packages. How do I make sure that whatever is dependent on the first install of TCL can actually use the second (as in, it knows where it is?) And also, what's the safest way to force a deinstall?
