I want to install emacs21. But when I try, either from source or
the precompiled binary, it tells me that I need libungif>=4.1.0.1.
When I attempted to pkg_delete it, I was told that the following packages
relied on it:
magicpoint-1.09anb1
gtk-engines-0.12nb1
xscreensaver-gnome-4.06nb1
control-center-1.4.0.4
galeon-1.2.7nb1
gabber-0.8.7nb4
gnumeric-1.0.12nb2
gal-0.22
gnome-vfs-1.0.3
GConf-1.0.9nb1
bonobo-1.0.18nb3
oaf-0.6.10
libglade-0.17nb2
glibwww-0.2nb2
gnome-media-1.2.3nb3
gnome-users-guide-1.2nb1
libgtop-1.0.13
gnome---1.2.2
gnome-print-0.36nb1
gdk-pixbuf-gnome-0.18.0
gbib-0.1.1b
gnome-libs-1.4.1.4nb1
imlib-1.9.14nb2
xplanet-0.93nb2
That's a long list, and some of those packages are *very* large.
Worse yet, experience suggests that I'll find a pile of others
that need to rebuilt. Is there any sane way to do this? I haven't
had that much luck with 'make update'.
Note that I'm perfectly willing to do the compilations. But I'd like to
get an ordered list of exactly what to delete and what to compile. Is
there any way to get that?
