>Description:
One of my package +CONTENTS files somehow ended up with a @pkgdep line with no argument on it. This prompted pkg_info (and other tools) to issue a warning like:
% pkg_info -W /usr/local/bin/vncviewer
pkg_info: corrupted record (pkgdep line without argument), ignoring
/usr/local/bin/vncviewer was installed by package tightvnc-1.3.10_3
%
However it didn't mention which package file the problem was in, leading me to resort to ktrace to figure it out. I shouldn't need to use ktrace to figure it out - the error message should be more explicit about where the problem is.
>How-To-Repeat:
Edit a +CONTENTS file to add an empty @pkgdep line and then run
% pkg_info -W /usr/local/bin/vncviewer
