Hi, When I search a port with 'whereis', I get different results on my 4.10 and 5.3 systems. For example 4.10 $ whereis lyx /usr/ports/print/lyx /usr/ports/japanese/lyx 5.3 $ whereis lyx /usr/ports/japanese/lyx Why this difference? On both systems /usr/ports/print/lyx exists. Similar cases are there with other ports. The result on 5.3 is rather confusing. Rob.

'whereis portname' behaviour changed from 4.X to 5.X ?
