--- Description ---
Just like the title says.

I tried to install a package "fs-uae" which I wasn't sure about the correct
package name. `pkg install` or `pkg search` could not find any such package=
. I
tried e-uae, uae, fs-uae-launcher but none gave me what I wanted. It turns =
out
fs-uae was the correct name and that is has been marked broken. It would be
nice if pkg could tell me about this.=20

Cheers
