Not an easy question, below BUT... Possible easier 3 paragraphs, than reading all of the following, at the bottom of this message if one does not want to read it all. Bottom 3 paragraphs did not occur to me til I'd already written the top part. Sorry! .................................. I've a list of packages from v10 pre- v11 and a list of packages post-v11 (that pkg inexplicably removed upon upgrading one port) (until I finally tweaked it to work properly) One list contains 680-odd the other 610-odd libaacs-0.8.0 I would like some pkg tool to determine, given all of each list, which are installed despite the current package name varying by number or even name So that I can complete the v10 > v11 upgrade by re-installing those initially deinstalled by pkg, given the format above, from the pre-upgrade local.sqlite file. something equivalent to pkg-install-if-absent-by-rquery-origin-probable-upstream, or pkg-info-is-broken unfetchable-so-no-use, or pkg-upgrade-right-now-by-package-can-do 3- in 1 pkg tool, something like portmaster or portupgrade used to do (pkgdb -F etc) but which fail (mostly silently or with a short "cannot do" message ... at least until they are upgraded... for instance "portmaster --check-depends " does absolutely nothing as far as terminal output here.) Another list where the x11/9menu format differs from 24xx to 25xx installed. I spent a lot of time almost getting a solution from docdiff's etc of the first list but it is inconclusive... docdiff's of the latter are apparant but too time-consuming. So I suppose I would use a method of given the "libaacs-0.8.0" format, what pkg info or query, or pipe containing same, would tell it it OR a later version is installed or not. (since it is shorter than the latter list, where the package may differ from the origin name). ............................................................. As an afterthought after writing all that, this question could be maybe irrelevant if the PACKAGES TO BE REMOVED (top portion of "pkg install" sometimes) were to print in dual format: colordiff-1.0.13_2 textproc/colordiff cdif-0.9.7,1 textproc/cdif I suppose that if that format were present, I could pipe/awk it straightaway to portmaster and/or portupgrade and/or pkg install without having to write an email such as this one So that maybe is the easiest way
