Portmaster reporting error?

M

I'm trying to clean up my ports packages using :

Code: 
portmaster -l

Which shows :

Code: 
localhost# portmaster -l
===>>> Root ports (No dependencies, not depended on)
===>>> libtool-2.4

However, I'm running apache 2.2.19 which requires libtool-2.4

How can I tell what is safe to delete .. if the tool can't even report back correctly?
 
Try portmaster -s instead. More information as follows:

Code: 
[-n|y] [-b] [-D|d] [color="Red"]-s[/color]
         clean out stale ports that used to be depended on

I use it many times without any problems. Or you could try it in Virtualbox to see how it behaves. ;)
 
libtool is only needed to build Apache, not to run it. Delete it and it will be reinstalled if needed to build another port.

Add -n to see what portmaster will do without actually building or installing anything.
