If a package is installed, and delivers file content, then the following is sufficient: pkg contents <pkg_name> ... ... > x11/library/libxft 2.1.14-0.133 installed ---- > > Also "pkg contents package_name" is only returning PATH with or without -r, > It is no longer listing the package contents. I've tried this with version > 2.3.1 and 2.4.b43? Can someone kindly help? If a package doesn't deliver any content (files or directories), then that's what you'll see. It is hoped that (in the near future) the contents subcommand will be enhanced to make it clearer why you received no output from a query: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=1797 If you execute "pkg contents" for a package, and it shows no listed paths, then it has either been renamed (and therefore no longer delivers any file content), or doesn't deliver content. When you want to see everything that a package contains, use the -m option: pkg contents -m <pkg_name> ... If a package is not installed, you have to use the -r option to indicate that it's ok to retrieve the latest information for a package from the server instead of using the locally installed package.
