>Description:

pkg-version(8) usage shows [index] as its final and only non-option
argument.  It looks to me like pkg/version.c does not process this
argument at all but makes the assumption that use of the -I option
always means use an INDEX file in portsdir.

I'm hoping this is an oversight which might be fixed soon, and that I'll
be able to run reports like the following on systems that don't have a
ports tree - just like I could with pkg_version(1).

  pkg version -IvL '=' /path/to/current/INDEX

>How-To-Repeat:

rwpc13# cd /usr/ports
rwpc13# make fetchindex
/usr/ports/INDEX-9.bz2                        100% of 1711 kB   11 MBps 00m00s

rwpc13# pkg version -IvL '='

rwpc13# mv INDEX-9 /var/tmp
rwpc13# pkg version -IvL '=' /var/tmp/INDEX-9

rwpc13# cd ..
