Hi guys, This is BCC'd to ports, since it is mostly for use there... I've placed the source for a new command, pkg_which, on http://people.freebsd.org/~reg/. The idea behind this command is to get Ports/Packages to register their dependencies based on what is on the system, not what they think should be there. Thus, if you have old libraries or a different version of shostscript installed, this will allow the system to register the correct dependency. Patches to bsd.port.mk and pkg_add to follow shortly. At the moment I'd like some people to test and review this. It works for me, but history has shown that to be a poor indicator of real success. Also, I'm not used to style(9), so this might be a mess, and the man page certainly needs some work.
