The key here is package origin, not the package name itself. %pkg_info -qO java/openjdk6 openjdk6-b22_4 %pkg_info -qO x11/xorg-apps xorg-apps-7.5.1 It is always safe to find its origin because there may be prefixes and postfixes. %pkg_info -qoX ko-openoffice.org editors/openoffice.org-3-devel I think this would be the worse case in the ports tree: %pkg_info -qo apr-ipv6-devrandom-gdbm-db42-1.4.2.1.3.10 devel/apr1 Jung-uk Kim
