Hi,

I learnt that I can say "pkg_add -ui" to get the latest of everything
in my already-installed packages (right?). But I have to install a
certain package first, and that's where the question begins:

I'd like to be able to eg. say "pkg_add vim_no-x11" and let the package
system figure out which one is the latest. So far, I only know how to
say "pkg_add vim" or "pkg_add vim-7.2.77-no_x11" if I want the no_x11
flavor. Otherwise, I have to know the specific version, too.


man pkg_add:

"In case of ambiguities, for instance: pkg_add screen (matches screen-4.02 and screen-4.02-static), pkg_add will error out, unless it is invoked in interactive mode (option -i)."
