What I would do: 1) for each version, run "pkg_info -R <version>" If this returns empty, it should be safe to delete. 2) for each remaining version, run "portupgrade -r <version>" Warning: autoconf is required by automake, which is used by great heaping gobs of stuff. There is a minute possibility any upgrade will break something. Robert Huff
