This raised the question to me of what I should regularly run in cron jobs to maintain the db.=20 Is it wise to put say, pkgdb -L into a weekly cron? Anything else? How are dependencies lost anyway? Beyond reading the source, is there a document that tells me how pkgdb works? Thanks, Mike --=20 Michael P. Soulier "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...
