Thanks, I'm trying this.

However, after pkg_delete, I did:

# pkgdb -F
--->  Checking the package registry database
Stale dependency: gcc-4.3.5.20091227 -> libgmp-4.3.2 (math/libgmp4):

Of course, when I later updated one of the above packages, gmp was found 
missing and got installed, but what really makes me wonder is pkgdb 
thinking all these dependencies are really irrelevant; this is some 
behaviour I also recently noticed in other situations and found it 
strange there too.
Any pointer on how pkgdb decides that?

  bye & Thanks
