pkg check broken?

Or am I wrong? Watch:

root@wish:/var/db/pkg # pkg check
Usage: pkg check [-Bdsr] [-vy] [-a | -gix <pattern>]

That it is not finding Subversion is either because it has not been installed, or the package database has not been converted with pkg2ng.

How can you tell it's not finding Subversion? I believe it's just a syntax problem. As you mentioned @wblock@, one of those switches is required. @solskogen, try pkg info subversion to verify the package database has been converted and Subversion is installed. Then try, for example, pkg check -d -v subversion to check the port's dependencies.

Subversion is installed.

Code: 
root@wish:~ # pkg info | grep sub
subversion-1.8.5               Version control system

But yes, you are right. I misunderstood how the check option is supposed to work. For some reason I thought that pkg check -a would check everything for every package.

Code: 
root@wish:~ # pkg check -d -v subversion
Checking dependencies: subversion
