No.  They only tell you about what you have installed on your

Also, the "pkgchk -lp <filename>" above is incorrect.

It should be "pkgchk -lp </path/to/filename>" Then it tells you what
package the file came from...

I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes.  I will surely
learn a great deal today.
