You can use pkg_cutleaves with pkgng in this sort of situation. The autoremove flags don't get set by pkg2ng unfortunately, as it can't tell what you installed explicitly by name and what was pulled in as a dependency. As you keep using pkgng, the autoremove flags will get set to more sane values and that feature will become more useful. Cheers, Matthew
