...all over the ports tree, it's more or less a way to document an optional runtime dependency. Other package managers like e.g. Debian's apt/dpkg have a concept of recommended/suggested "dependencies" for such cases, FreeBSD's pkg doesn't know that (so far?), so it's more or less the only thing...
...serial killer of package managers. I've lost countless Linux installs by doing apt-get/yum install <some_package> and then it uninstalls either dpkg or rpm, or something that the GUI needs, and as such the network connection is lost and you're left with hours of trying to sort broken packages...
...In such cases I've done partially updates which left some ports without security issues behind.
It is the same: If you change the environment dpkg / apt-get tries to solve this by deinstalling packages.
But Debian has stable, testing and unstable/sid - and what FreeBSD (quarterly) does...
man dpkg
-L, --listfiles package-name...
List files installed to your system from package-name.
man pkg-info
-l, --list-files
Display all files installed by pkg-name.
Example: pkg info -l screen
screen-4.9.0_6:
/usr/local/bin/screen...
is dpkg an Ubuntu/Debian command? If so, it doesn't exist on FreeBSD. If you are asking "what is the FreeBSD equivalent of Debian dpkg -L" then ask that.
I am not sure about the -L option of dpkg. Please check the options listed by pkg alias. Most likely one of the options leaf, prime-list, prime-origins or noauto provide the function you want to have.
Turns out everything installed properly. Was able to boot a jail and everything. The output of dpkg -l | grep -v ii showed nothing or just base-files which is what made me think something went wrong.
This is driving me up the wall. When I get to the step where dpkg is setting up sysvinit it attempts to restart the computer. Instead of ignoring it or restarting the chroot or something else it restarts the main system! I can't get past this step because my computer keeps rebooting....

...I am now taking a stab at Linux chroot specifically Ubuntu chroot.
So far everything is working as expected but I have a problem with dpkg while installing external packages into the chroot environment.
I get the error "/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 4924: /dev/nulld: Operation not...

...line:
Binary packages on FreeBSD, through the pkg command, behave differently than "package" commands on Linux distributions (apt, yum, dnf, dpkg, etc). After having using both for a long time my opinion is "it's best if you embrace and understand the system you are working with...
Does FreeBSD have something analogous to Debian's dpkg --get-selections so I can get a list of all the packages and ports I have installed? I'm pretty sure I don't have enough of them to justify 4.7GB in a/ROOT/default.
Write up has been immensely useful in making me believe I did the right choice adopting FreeBSD as an operating system as opposed to my former distribution. The type of methodical documentation on FreeBSD makes me believe that it is best suited for people who truly want to understand the...
