I finally(!) got around to unpacking the distribution files for pkg-1.10.5; looking at src/updating.c, "pkg updating" uses either strcasestr() or strstr() (depending on whether or not -i is specified) for matching the origins of installed ports against the "AFFECTS" lines in ports/UPDATING. I see no code that would support anything other than literal string matches -- no attempts to specify/use meta-characters; no globs; no regular expressions. Peace, david -- David H.
