Hi for some reason, I was trying to find out which package delivers /usr/lib/libgd.so. So, I tried doing something like
pkg search -r gd.so and then pkg search -r SUNWgd both of them returned with nothing. After searching through the archives at pkg-discuss alias, I guess it occurred to me to search as "pkg search -r SUNWgd*" and finally I was able to retrieve the package I was looking for. However, I was hoping if some one could add a one liner message when the package search fails so that user knows exactly how to search for - something along the lines of - pkg search -r SUNWgd Unable to find any 'SUNWgd' package in the repository. If you are looking for packages matching SUNWgd, then you might want to search with SUNWgd* - or some thing along the lines.. Goes a long way towards usability.. cheers sriram _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
