[Philip Nienhuis]

Update of bug #49156 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed                 
        Operating System:               GNU/Linux => Any

Follow-up Comment #2:

Define "easy" ....

Have you tried your own suggestion? as that works since ages:

pkgs = pkg ("list")   ## returns info on all installed packages

pkgfoo = pkg ("list", "foo")  ## returns info about pkg foo
If not installed you get an empty cell array.

As this is available functionality I close this with "invalid"
