Is there a #NetBSD equivalent of pkg_delete -a a'la OpenBSD? A way to autoremove unused / orphaned dependencies and packages? Looking at the manpages I can't seem to find the right thing: -A and -R seem to be similar but they need a package name supplie. I can pipe pkg_info to pkg_delete in a for loop but that is too aggressive. Any hints?
