Description joeb1 2017-07-01 18:25:24 UTC
When "pkg info" command displays user installed ports/packages, any port/package that has a long description gets what ever part of the description that doesn't fit on the that line wrapped to the beginning of the next line in the output display. The reader of the display sees this wrapped content as the name of an port/package which is an visual error. 

Fix. Stop the wrapping of the line and have the remaining description indented to line up with the start on the description column in the output so everything lines up and looks nice.

sounds nice, and I would accept a patch to do this, but note that I have no intention to do it myself, as this is a legacy from the old pkg_install time and I am pretty sure some script rely on this pkg info output (even if they shouldn't)
