For example: > sudo pkg remove libX11 Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting) Deinstallation has been requested for the following 1 packages (of 0 packages in the universe): Installed packages to be REMOVED: libX11-1.6.2_2,1 The operation will free 6 MB. Proceed with deinstalling packages?

Proceed with deinstalling packages? [y/N]: But pkg info -r libX11 produces a long list. If I downgrade to pkg 1.3.8, pkg remove libX11 asks me to remove almost everything. Is this a regression? > > regards, > Bapt > -- Cheers, Henry
