Default dependency question.

When I delete gdm and evolution:

Quote:
# pkg_delete gdm
Can't remove gdm-2.20.10p5 without also removing:
gnome-session-2.24.3p17
# pkg_delete evolution
Can't remove evolution-2.24.5p16 without also removing:
file-roller-2.24.3p7 nautilus-2.24.2p9 gnome-session-2.24.3p17 tracker-search-0.6.94p2 deskbar-applet-2.24.3p9
My question is:

1. Why gnome-session depend on gdm and evolution?

In fact, I still remember I installed gnome-session before I installed gdm, although I don't remember it clearly.

2. How OpenBSD package management system handle dependency relationship?

Where is the dependency information for a specific package(for example gnome-session-2.24.3p17.tgz)?

I downloaded "gnome-session-2.24.3p17.tgz" manually and tar xzvf it, than I did't find anything about the dependency information.

Because the ports maintainers (jasper@, in this case) made it a dependency. From the cvs log:
Code:
--- ports/x11/gnome/session/Makefile    2007/11/10 16:26:22    1.27
+++ ports/x11/gnome/session/Makefile    2007/11/27 20:27:37    1.28

gdm would have been installed automatically, as a run dependency. You missed it.

There are build dependencies (that must be installed prior to building from source), and run dependencies (that must be installed when the package is being installed), and particular libraries required, all defined by the port's Makefile, and included in the package meta-data.

The dependencies are in the +CONTENTS file included in the package. You can either unpack the tarball and manually examine that file:
$ cd /tmp
$ tar xzf /path/to/gnome-session-2.24.3p17.tgz
$ less ./+CONTENTS
Or you can use the -S option of pkg_info(1). Or, you can install the ports tree and use the various make targets, such as print-run-depends. Or, you can read the Makefile, as I did.

See FAQ 15, and ports(7).
