prt-get is a front-end to pkgutils, the CRUX ports-system, and it handles dependencies automatically while installing packages. i want to know why it does not handle dependencies while remove that specific package which is quite opposite to apt-get. i know we have "pkgfoster" available but why that "removal dependency-handling" was not built into prt-get when we have built "installation using dependencies". may be because of KISS approach but myself, being a newbie failed to see a connection. may you explain please ?
There is no 'why'; there is just no need for this feature. In my opinion prt-get should not remove any ports on its own. To get rid of dependencies which you don't need anymore, you can use pkgfoster or write a very small script by yourself.
