[csw-users] pkgutil switches so as to show what WOULD happen.

[Wyche, George PW]

@Peter

Thanks. I succeeded with pkgutil -in <name>
It *mostly* worked.
pkgutil -in xpdf  came back saying Updated packages: CSWftype2-...

That CSWftype2 is misleading.
fgrep ftype2 [name]/sparc/5.8/descriptions does not return anything.

After a bit I found freetype2, but I don't know a straight forward way
to find it.

Also, it is not clear to me why md5 checking is senseless without gpg.
Why is that?

Update pkgutil with your catalog:

# pkgutil -U

Then do a "no action" install:

# pkgutil -in tetex

It will look into the catalog and tell you what packages you need.
