Description

Not all packages are shown under 'Installed Packages' (System > Package Manager) when a package is removed from the packages repository. This may happen when you change the repository url (command line) or when a package is removed from the main repository in the future.

PFSense uses 'pkg search' to determine which package is currently installed. But I guess it should use 'pkg info'.

It currently runs this shell command in 'get_pkg_info' (pkg-utils.inc):
  1. pkg search --raw-format json-compact 'pfSense-pkg-*'

This is fine to determine which packages are available, but not what's installed.

It should be something like this to determine what's installed:
  1. pkg info --raw-format json-compact 'pfSense-pkg-*'
