Hmm, ok, I'm missing something then.  When I do a pkg status -a, I get
two lines for each installed package, one saying it's "known", and one
saying it's "installed".

Any idea what's going on?  (Either way, having to process the output
seems a bit non-optimal for a fairly common use case, I'd have
thought...)

Cheeri,
Calum.
