Hi,
I love FreeBSD, I'm running 11.1 I just downloaded and updated, etc. Installed a few packages to operate as a Samba AD DC, works great so far (using UFS, not ZFS - but for another thread...)
Just a simple question I can't seem to figure out:
I use info in other package managers to get info about packages before I download them. Usually they will expound on the short description listed when doing a package search.
I noticed this doesn't work with pkg info --- or pkg info -f - doesn't matter if I include the entire package name and version. So I thought ...
But then I discovered that it seems to work with some packages but not others!
For instance:
But then...
can anyone explain to me why I'm getting this behavior?
Thank you!

Description :
nano is a small, free and friendly editor which aims to replace
Pico, the default editor included in the non-free Pine package.
Rather than just copying Pico's look and feel, nano also implements
some missing (or disabled by default) features in Pico, such as
"search and replace" and "goto line number".
