My request ismore subtle, I think.
Consider the following fake port tree:
port1 port2 port3* port4
\ / \ | /
\ / \ | /
port12* \ | /
\ | /
port234*
A trailing * marks a port manually installed.
If I run "pkg_deinstall --upward-recursive port234", this will remove
port234, port3 and port4 (at least I suppose, the manual page doesn't
give the details). But since I've installed port3 manually it's likely
because I need it for some reason, therefore I don't want it to be
deinstalled.
Best regards,
