Just tested, pkg 1.1.4 vs. 1.2.1

pkg info -q pkg-name is identical on both, but "-f" vs no parameter
definitely changed and this seems like a bug to me.


It is not a bug, but intended as requested by a lot of users. To mimic the
pkg_info behaviour.

pkg info -q shows nothing on purpose as well as pkg info -q is used by the scripts like portmaster or by the ports tree and only the return value is
checked
0 means something was found 1 means nothing was found.

Thank you for explanation.

Then I have one question. Is there any way to get same output as
'pkg info pkg-name' of 1.1.x? I tried some combination of options but
could not find proper one.


1.1.4 doesn't behave like you describe, but here's a universal way:

root@fbsd01:~ # pkg info pkg
pkg-1.1.4_8

root@fbsd01:~ # pkg info icinga
icinga-1.9.3_2

root@fbsd01:~ # pkg query '%n-%v' icinga
icinga-1.9.3_2

root@fbsd01:~ # pkg query '%n-%v %c' icinga
icinga-1.9.3_2 Enterprise grade open source monitoring system based on Nagios
