You probably want pkg_info; pkg_version is used to print packages that might need updating. If you see three packages, it means that someone has probably overlay-installed updates without pkg_delete'ing the previous version. Take a look at the 'portupgrade' port; it automates upgrades and handles port dependencies very cleanly. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
