Description stijn 2000-06-05 15:00:01 UTC 
pkg_version(1) doesn't honor the -l flag if given the -c flag. The command

pkg_version -c

is used to show commands to update packages on the system to the latest
version. The -l flag is used (according to the manpage) to limit the output
of pkg_version to packages older than the index, newer than the index
or at the same version.

However, this functionality cannot be combined, and pkg_version -c will
only work if an overview of newer packages is requested (-l '<').

Fix: Here is a simple patch that defaults to the old behavior but does
respect the -l flag in combination with the -c flag (if -l is listed
after the -c on the command line).
How-To-Repeat: 
I expect

pkg_version -c -l '='

to produce a list of instructions about how to reinstall all current packages,
however this doesn't produce any output.
