(I may be mistaken somehow but it does not work : reordering only enables pkg_delete to work after a make install) I'll (try to) put a few "@unexec rm -f file" lines to clean up the links by hand. js To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
