Code: 
[root@192 /usr/local/www/ampache/config]# pkg_info ampache*
tar: Unrecognized archive format
tar: +*: Not found in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
pkg_info: tar extract of /usr/local/www/ampache/config/ampache.cfg.php failed!
pkg_info: error during unpacking, no info for 'ampache.cfg.php' available

Is this a port error, a pkg_info problem, or something wrong on my system that I should fix?
 
The problem looks like a mistake in what is expected. It's unlikely that all the files in that directory are packages, for a start.
 
Thank you, kpa. Wildcard has always worked before, I have never considered it is not fully supported.
 
Wildcards are supported, but the shell will expand them before the program sees them. Escaping them with a backslash works, but -x is better. -Ix might be more what you're expecting.
