All right, so I'm not a newbie, but I've been wondering about this for a while. To delete a package, you can't just do: > pkg_delete xcoloredit you have to know the specific version even if its the only one installed. So I've been using: > pkg_info -Ia | grep xcoloredit xcoloredit-1.2 Find colour values by graphical colour mixing > pkg_delete xcoloredit-1.2 wishing for the rpm-like feature where if there's only one version, then: > pkg_delete xcoloredit would do the job. Is there some option permutation of pkg_delete to get the latter form to work? If not, I think this would be a handy feature. Yeah I know, I could just cook a pkg_delete wrapper script to do this, but as commonplace as this operation would seem to be, I wonder how many folks would find this useful as standard behavior.
