For example, I installed sqWebmail and tried it out then decided it's not what we were looking for. Now, I would like to not only remove sqWebmail but all of the stuff it installed along with it. sqwebmail also installed things like: - courier-authlib-base-0.56 - ispell-3.2.06_13 and others as well Is there a safe / quick way to remove the dependencies for a port and not break the rest of the system by removing stuff other things depend on? For example, I don't want to remove Perl obviously which is a dependency of sqwebmail. Thank you, FreeBSDUtah __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
