I'm looking for the diagnostic type commands that will reveal the state of the system or a particular package. Or a way to trace the files installed when a package is installed, extract individual original files from packages. Or find which package holds a particular file. Hopefully pkg_info, pkg_add, pkg_delete isn't all of it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
