But I was mistaken believing that -N -vv should still print values from pkg.conf. For me, this comes from getting bsdconfig(8) packages working to install packages from dvd1when not online, but I clearly don't yet grok it completely. See /usr/share/bsdconfig/packages/musthavepkg.subr ( with patched ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES=YES ) cheers, Ian
