root at opensolaris:~$ pkg list -a SUNWzlib NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION STATE UFIX SUNWzlib 1.2.3-0.111 installed ----
from the output it seems pkg list will show whether a package is installed on my box or not. What i am looking for is a command which search for a package in the list of pkg publisher list and informs which publisher contains the given package. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
