    Port A depends on port B, meaning port A needs port B to run. Therefore, port B is a dependency of port A. After installing port A, port B would have also been installed. At this point, port A has become a dependent of port B. Port B cannot be uninstalled until all of its dependents, including port A, have also been uninstalled.

    DEPENDENCY RELATIONS
    --------------------

    Do not confuse 'dependents' and 'dependencies' (or, shortened, 'deps').


    Refer to the following example to understand the difference:

    ----
    portA --> portB
    ----

    *portA* depends on *portB*, i.e., *portA* needs *portB* to run. Because of


    that, *portB* is a 'dependency' (or 'dep') of *portA*. After installing
    *portA*, *portB* has been automatically installed. At this point, *portA* has
    become a 'dependent' of *portB*. You can only uninstall *portB* once all of its
    dependents (i.e., including *portA*) have been uninstalled.
