Hi,

When I try to delete pkg_delete pkg-config-0.25_1
I get a message saying
package 'pkg-config-0.25_1' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
libidn-1.22
wget-1.13.4_1
libxml2-2.7.8_3
php5-5.4.4
php5-curl-5.4.4
php5-posix-5.4.4
php5-json-5.4.4
liboauth-0.9.6_1
pecl-APC-3.1.10
pecl-oauth-1.2.2
php5-xmlwriter-5.4.4
php5-xml-5.4.4
php5-tokenizer-5.4.4
php5-simplexml-5.4.4
php5-session-5.4.4
php5-pdo-5.4.4
php5-iconv-5.4.4
php5-hash-5.4.4
php5-filter-5.4.4
php5-dom-5.4.4
php5-xmlreader-5.4.4
php5-ctype-5.4.4
php5-phar-5.4.4


for the same above mentioned error message there are several online
suggestions.
One such is using portmaster as Achilleas
<http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_nodes&user=159243>
said,
Should I go head and try these??
portmaster-o devel / pkgconf devel / pkg-config
portupgrade-fo devel / pkg-config pkgconf /

Achilleas <http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_nodes&user=159243>
and
Ronald also mentioned to use pkgng. For this, I need to remove all packages
and install correct? Should I remove some packages scares me a lot, but if
I can backup the packages and after it updates
