See bug 116.
- can package names have spaces in them? if not, then this comment
No.
doesn't really matter as much. but i noticed that running "pkg list -H" behaves a little too much like a normal "pkg list". the "pkg list -H" output is exactly the same as without '-H', just sans the header line. compare this to the zfs commands. if you don't specify '-H' with zfs list, then it outputs a header line and all the columns are width adjusted to align propertly, using spaces for padding. but if you do specify '-H', then not only is the header line dropped, but the column seperator changes from multiple spaces to a single tab. this is critical for scripting because filesystem names can have spaces in them, so the use of tabs as seperators allows scripts to propertly parse the output.
Maybe; but right now that would be a significant change in output format. Something to consider though...
