Which reads from the wimpy database mentioned above.
The key word there was `real'.
> man pkg_info
Man that is lame compared to the power of rpm commands. You can't be
serious about offering those limp pkg_* as being similar.
No kind of cross referencing or any other basic data minipulations.
To someone not initiated on FreeBSD that may look like some kind of
similar tool. Don't be fooled. Robin is misleading you. The pkg
suite is nearly useless for any serious investigation. Does not
compare at all to rpm.

Clueless luser... why I aughta....
EoT?
Jeez, I thought you'd at least flame me. This is a flame war bubba,
wake up. Where is that flame thrower you used to have in your sig?
Don't let sheer boredom slow you down.
