Hello List,

I noticed, that there is no "-q" quite option in pkg_add / pkg_delete.
Normally, there is no output, but sometimes, there is an additional info
text printed like:

===========================================================================
The following files and directories needed by cups-1.1.23nb2
have special permissions:

        /usr/pkg/bin/lppasswd (o=lp, g=sys, m=4755)

===========================================================================
===========================================================================
The following files should be created for cups-1.1.23nb2:

        /etc/rc.d/cupsd (m=0755)
            [/usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/cupsd]

You will need to also install print/ghostscript-esp{,-nox11} if you wish
to print to non-Postscript printers.

You may install additional PPD files for other printer models into
/usr/pkg/share/cups/model.

You may want to backup /etc/printcap before starting CUPS for the first
time, as the CUPS scheduler may overwrite this file with automatically
generated content.

for example (adding cups)
and following text when deleting this package:

it would be great to have an option to surpress this output, when using in
shell scripts, for example.

Thanks.
