The following reply was made to PR bin/32603; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Dag-Erling Smorgrav <des@ofug.org> To: Mark Stosberg <mark@summersault.com> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: bin/32603: pkg_info fails to find installed packages in some cases Date: 09 Dec 2001 14:06:55 +0100 Mark Stosberg <mark@summersault.com> writes: > $cd /usr/ports/lang > $ pkg_info python* When you do this, your shell expands "python*" to the list of files and directories in the current directory whose names begins with "python". This is not pkg_info's doing; pkg_info simply looks in /var/db/pkg for directories whose names match one of its command-line arguments. If you use zsh, you can add the following line to your .zshrc to teach zsh how to perform argument expansion for pkg_info: compctl -g '/var/db/pkg/*(/:t)' pkg_info pkg_delete With this, when you press TAB or ^D on a command line that begins with "pkg_info" or "pkg_delete" followed by a space, zsh will look for completions in /var/db/pkg instead of the current directory.
