 |
|
I had a little accident today. Long story short, my system is now missing files and dirs containing "cache" in it's path :>
Can anyone who knows this stuff use "his awk sed regexp etc" magic, and write command to show every package that installed such files?
I tried use equery for this job, but my formatting skill are too poor.

Probably not the prettiest solution, but this seems to work: | Code: | | find /var/db/pkg/ -name CONTENTS | xargs grep -l cache | sed 's#.*pkg/\(.*\)/CONTENTS#\1#' |
Hope everything rebuilds ok. Looks like there are some pretty important packages on the list. |

This not check full path for "cache", only files  but thanks for interest.
