Sorry, I'm trying to get some clarification on what the new behavior is.

No objections for covering this in a separate bug. The case that I'm concerned about is when other software or organizational process has a dependency on the old name, BRCMbnx for example, and wants to know whether that has been installed or not. If we have the renamed version of the package installed, it seems like the answer to this question should be yes. -j _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
