Does the Fink command-line tool provide any hooks for querying what category a package belongs to? Right now the only way I can get at this information is to iterate through "fink list --section=foo", parse the output from each section, and then merge everything into a large list/array. Iterating through "fink list" so many times (22 by my count, for all sections of Fink packages) is very slow, and also causes Perl to consume up to 99% of CPU time for each iteration. If there is a more efficient approach than I have outlined here, for instance through some command-line switch that could add a "section" column to the output of "fink list", that would be optimal.
Any advice is appreciated.
