Thanks Sebastien, I just figured out this. Now everything is clear. If I may propose something . . . those "Not found" items even if it is not an error, is a little bit misleading . . . From a simple user's point of view the pkg_check -F in normal circumstances should return cleanly. Maybe an extra option for pkg_check in future that tells to show those "Not found" items (by default not to show).

Why? Is pkg_locate not working > correctly? Or I'm missing something? pkg_locate uses a database populated with all files from ports (installed packages or not). locate uses a database populated with updatedb, and it contains only files installed on filesystem (it is updated weekly). so pkg_locate bsd.rd searchs if a file "bsd.rd" exists in some port (installed or not); whereas locate bsd.rd searchs if a file "bsd.rd" exists in current filesystem. -- Sebastien Marie
