The port system allows ports to "depend" on other ports. This means that before installing port A it will depend on everything that A depends on (ex. B, C). When you deinstall A you are not removing B and C. You are only removing the top level port. Upgrading is essentially deinstalling the current version and installing the newest version. This means that if you "upgrade" A you are not upgrading B or C. Similarly upgrading B does not upgrade C OR A. Think about it like a Matryoshka (stacking) doll. Just because you update one doll doesn't mean the others are changed. For more information try the following: $man ports http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/ports-using.html If you have ports-mgmt/portmaster installed try man portmaster. I hope I am clear. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask. > > Thanks again, > Vinnix > > -- Eitan Adler "Security is increased by designing for the way humans actually behave." -Jakob Nielsen
