You still need some way to work out what dependencies were installed by the first package. You could try looking at "pkg_deinstall -R" (part of portupgrade). BTW, if you compiled the package, it could have installed build-time dependencies that aren't recorded as requirements and I don't know any easy way to find/delete them. -- Peter Jeremy
