Do NOT mix fnmatch pattern with Dewey. It doesn't work like that.


How does it work? Please propose an alternative.

If you are using a dewey (sic) match then there is only one alternative,you must specify a fully-formed PKGBASE.

I'd also like to point out that there are performance impacts when usingfnmatch as tools such as pkg_install and pkgin then have to traverse theentire list of packages looking for matches, so it is always preferableto specify a fully-formed PKGBASE where possible.
