It's probably my fault for not being clear enough.  I have a list of
packages that includes asterisk.  I could change that to comms/asterisk
but how do I know if it has been installed?

$ pkg_info -Q PKGPATH asterisk13
pkg_info: can't find package `asterisk13'

So, accoring to this asterisk13 is not installed.  If I use asterisk;

$ pkg_info -Q PKGPATH asterisk
comms/asterisk13

OK, so now I know that asterisk is installed from comms/asterisk13.
However, if asterisk is NOT installed yet then;

$ pkg_info -Q PKGPATH asterisk
pkg_info: can't find package `asterisk'

So not installed yet but then how do I know which directory to build it
from?  My script guesses "/usr/pkgsrc/*/asterisk" which succeeds but
installs the wrong version.  I can't use pkg_info to get the directory
until AFTER it is installed.  Catch 22.

Yes, sometimes the guess will fail but except for asterisk it always
fails by installing nothing and I can handle it manually.  Except for
asterisk once everything is installed my script does not complain about
anything.
