(/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmanager) and deinstalled, "schedule for deletion" doodle gogo The process was aided by TABBING with the flat files in /var/db/pkg, (where is that port, "is it installed"; pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/ etc etc) using non-pkgng tools. I hope that when/if pkgng becomes mandatory its man pages are complete enough so that one can easily find/remember the commands to use... or include an option to write an updated /var/db/pkg set upon its cessation of any particular operation. (I foresee without those files, it may take a bit longer). Just two small points to consider. Thanks for reading. Not wishing to trouble anyone with the time needed to formulate a reply. J. Bouquet
