Yes see the ARC community.

However I'm not even sure if this bug needs to be fixed since the 
pkgchk(1) command can already do what I think this bug is asking for.

$ pkgchk -v -P bin/vim
/opt/csw/bin/vimtutor
/usr/bin/vim
/usr/bin/vimdiff
/usr/bin/vimtutor

  And, if you were thinking of a more general facility for locating
  files, whether or not they were delivered by packaging, I would
  suggesting integrating GNU findutils into SFW.  (findutils provides
  locate(1).)

There is also a BSD licensed locate, such as is used in Mac OS X
and the BSDs.

  Also fine.  My main point is "if you want locate, don't reinvent it".
