Hello!


The process is of the package

$ pkg search gam_server
INDEX      ACTION VALUE                    PACKAGE
basename   file   usr/lib/amd64/gam_server 
pkg:/library/file-monitor/gamin at 0.1.10-2022.0.0.2
basename   file   usr/lib/gam_server 
pkg:/library/file-monitor/gamin at 0.1.10-2022.0.0.2

$ pkg info gamin
              Name: library/file-monitor/gamin

pkg://openindiana.org/library/file-monitor/gamin@0.1.10-2022.0.0.2:20220131T210608Z


and i think it (re-)builds some file index ?

What packages require this?

$ pkg search -l -H -o pkg.fmri,action.raw 
'depend:require:library/file-monitor/gamin'
pkg:/library/gnome/gnome-vfs at 2.24.4-2022.0.0.6:20220131T211410Z depend 
fmri=pkg:/library/file-monitor/gamin at 0.1.10-2020.0.1.2 type=require
pkg:/library/python/gamin-27 at 0.1.10-2022.0.0.2:20220131T210554Z depend 
fmri=pkg:/library/file-monitor/gamin at 0.1.10-2022.0.0.2 type=require
pkg:/library/glib2 at 2.70.0-2022.0.0.2:20220403T195653Z    depend 
fmri=pkg:/library/file-monitor/gamin at 0.1.10-2022.0.0.2 type=require

..in the end i think its the mate desktop..

Greetings,
