Does "pkg info -B $pkg_name" only list the shared packages from the first level of supporting "ports", or is it supposed to be all shared (ports') libraries that are used?
While reviewing the composition of packages, I noticed that not all shared libraries which are used, appear in the output from "pkg info -B $pkg_name". Lets use curl as an example. The library /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8 is missing from # pkg info -B curl-7.45.0 curl-7.45.0: libheimntlm.so.0 libssh2.so.1 libcrypto.so.8 libheimbase.so.1 libkrb5.so.26 libhx509.so.5 libasn1.so.8 libgssapi.so.3 libcom_err.so.1 libroken.so.18 libssl.so.8 libwind.so.0 However # ldd `which curl` /usr/local/bin/curl: libcurl.so.4 => /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4 (0x800848000) libssl.so.8 => /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.8 (0x800ab9000) libcrypto.so.8 => /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.8 (0x800d25000) libz.so.6 => /lib/libz.so.6 (0x801139000) libkrb5.so.26 => /usr/local/lib/heimdal/libkrb5.so.26 (0x80134f000) libgssapi.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/heimdal/libgssapi.so.3 (0x8015ca000) libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x801803000) libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x801a28000) libssh2.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libssh2.so.1 (0x801dcc000) libheimntlm.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/heimdal/libheimntlm.so.0 (0x801ff4000) libhx509.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/heimdal/libhx509.so.5 (0x8021fa000) libcom_err.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/heimdal/libcom_err.so.1 (0x802443000) libasn1.so.8 => /usr/local/lib/heimdal/libasn1.so.8 (0x802646000) libwind.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/heimdal/libwind.so.0 (0x8028e4000) libheimbase.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/heimdal/libheimbase.so.1 (0x802b0c000) libroken.so.18 => /usr/local/lib/heimdal/libroken.so.18 (0x802d10000) libcrypt.so.5 => /lib/libcrypt.so.5 (0x802f21000) libintl.so.8 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8 (0x803141000) I appreciate that libintl.so.8 is part of the gettext-runtime, a second tier of inclusion (by heimdal); however both the output from "pkg info -B" and the documentation either (respectively) imply or state that "-B Display all shared libraries used by pkg-name". Perhaps this can be addressed in the documentation by adding "only shared libraries from the first level of dependencies upon other ports are included", which also accommodates the missing system libraries (libz, libcrypt, ...)? [I came across this while looking for efficient ways to prune unnecessary libraries from the system.] Regards, Dewayne. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
