FreeBSD  5.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE #0: Fri Sep 26 19:29:02 CEST 2003     Lysander@:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/PENTIUM4  i386     
>Description:
from the manpage:
pkg_info [-bcdDfgGiIkLmopPqQrRsvVx] [-e package] [-l prefix]
              [-t template] [pkg-name ...]

but "pkg_info -s" says it needs a package name, so instead one has to type "pkg_info -sa". I don't know if that's supposed to happen and the doc has a typo, or there's no need for the "a" (just "pkg_info" works, after all; why is there an "-a" option?)


>How-To-Repeat:
pkg_info -s
>Fix:
I didn't send any patch since don't know if it's the software or the info (I'd set -a by default)
