Hello,

I'm trying to fix the boot error that you see below :

​

    [marietto@marietto /]$ php

    PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
    'intl.so' (tried: /usr/local/lib/php/20190902/intl.so (Shared
    object "libicuio.so.72" not found, required by "intl.so"),
    /usr/local/lib/php/20190902/intl.so.so (Cannot open
    "/usr/local/lib/php/20190902/intl.so.so")) in Unknown on line
    0

    [marietto@marietto /]$ pkg provides libicuio.so.72
    pkg: unknown command: provides

​

how to fix it ? (I'm using FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE).

thanks.

Didn't think that a package like that could exists. I've thought that
provides was an argument to add to pkg.

packages = latest.

    # pkg install pkg-provides

    Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up

Hi,
pkg-provides is a pkg plugin, it has to be installed with the
following command

`sudo pkg install pkg-provides`

and configured in */usr/local/etc/pkg.conf* changing the following
lines:


`PKG_PLUGINS_DIR = "/usr/local/lib/pkg/";`
`PKG_ENABLE_PLUGINS = true;`
`PLUGINS [ provides ];`


After that you can type 'pkg plugin' to see if the plugin is correctly
detected, this is  a sample output :

`$ pkg plugin`
`NAME     DESC
VERSION`
`provides  A plugin for querying which package provides a particular
file   0.4.2`

After the first install you probably need to update the pkg-provide
database


`sudo pkg provides -u`
`Fetching provides database: 100%   14 MiB  15.1MB/s    00:01`
`Extracting database....success`

Now you are ready to use pkg provides.


All the details are here : [https://pkg-

Happy hacking!
