Hi,

> how do i remove old libs that i am upgrading or just dont need anymore
> (imlib for example)? is there something i should do to remove it or
> should i just install the newer version over the old one?

Ooh - installing over is not usually a good idea.  If you used the port to
install it you can do the following (as root):

	cd /var/db/pkg
	pkg_delete old_port_I_don't_want

If you have CVSupped the latest ports you can then go to the ports tree to
build the latest greatest version.

Note that things like imlib that may have been installed w/ say
Enlightenment may need a "pkg_delete -f old_port" as they are listed as
dependencies.
