Not per default. It will if you pass the "-f" switch (which I really do
NOT recomment :-).

Er, I don't understand. :>

It only takes the given package, then goes down for all packages listed in
the packages' +CONTENTS @pkgdep packages.

That's the way it is (unless i'm misunderstanding you :-)

If you add a package "app1" that wants "lib", and do a "pkg_delete -R
app1" this will nuke "app1" and "lib". If you add a "app2" that also
depends on "lib" and do the same pkg_delete again, only "app1" will be
removed.
