Hi there,

Another idea I forget to suggest in my post last week was a mode for
pkg_delete similar to -F, excepct for it works in the other direction,
but stops if it finds other packages which need the candidate.

for example:

package A is some low level text manipulation library.
package B is a music player. Depends upon A.
package C is another library which deals with http requests. Depends upon A.
package D is a web browser depends upon C.

pkg_delete -F prune D

Should delete package D and C too, but stop at A as package B requires it.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Thoughts?

Best Regards
