Hello Alex,
First of all thank you for taking the time to report this and using
FreeBSD, we really appriciate the time and effort taken.
However, pkg_version has the -I option which does the following:
-I Use only the index file for determining if a package is out of
date. This is much faster than using the version number from a
port's Makefile, at the expense of potentially giving an incor-
rect result if the index file is out of date.
at least on my rather recent 6-STABLE :-)
When I run pkg_version -vIL= i get the response that one would
expect. Are you sure you are running a recent version of the
application? Can you share some details with us to see what the
problem might be?
Thanks!
Cheers
remko
