If you don't have the file installed on your system, then MacPorts has no way of knowing what port provides it. In terms of dependency resolution, various ports say "I depend on library foo", and it finds the port for it because that port is explicitly declared in the dependency. But in the general case, MacPorts really has no idea what ports provide what files until you install the ports. On Dec 29, 2006, at 6:11 AM, Alexy Khrabrov wrote:
How does one find a port containing a file, e.g. mkisofs? Generally, which listing/installation mechanisms, similar to dpkg, are available?
