I strongly recommend always installing the pkg-provides package on
FreeBSD and its derivatives, and on DragonFlyBSD.
After installation pkg-provides, a three lines in
/usr/local/etc/pkg.conf need tweaking to look like this:
PKG_PLUGINS_DIR = "/usr/local/lib/pkg/";
PKG_ENABLE_PLUGINS = true;
PLUGINS [ provides ] ;
You then need to run (just once):
# pkg provides -u
>From then on, an index of providing packages is maintained for all
currently, and subsequently, installed files.
You can then find the package that supplies a particular file like this:
% pkg provides /usr/local/bin/gmake
Name : gmake-4.3_2
Desc : GNU version of 'make' utility
Repo : Avalon
Filename: usr/local/bin/gmake
