I am still having problems getting pkg to upgrade as I think it should based on my read of the man page: [root@kabini1, /etc, 10:45:18am] 547 % pkg version -vIL= curl-7.37.1_2 < needs updating (index has 7.37.1_3) dri-7.6.1_4,2 < needs updating (index has 9.1.7_4,2) gtk2-2.24.22_3 < needs updating (index has 2.24.22_4) libGL-7.6.1_4 < needs updating (index has 9.1.7_1) libdrm-2.4.17_1,1 < needs updating (index has 2.4.52,1) libyaml-0.1.6 < needs updating (index has 0.1.6_1) pango-1.34.1_6 < needs updating (index has 1.34.1_7) portmaster-3.17.6 < needs updating (index has 3.17.7) readline-6.3.6_1 < needs updating (index has 6.3.8) xf86-video-intel-2.7.1_8 < needs updating (index has 2.21.15_3) xorg-server-1.7.7_13,1 < needs updating (index has 1.12.4_8,1) [root@kabini1, /etc, 10:45:30am] 548 % pkg version -vRL= Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...

[root@kabini1, /etc, 10:48:17am] 550 % 1st command seems to show some pkg's w/ upgrades available, but the 'pkg upgrade' command does nothing .... The man page pretty explicitly implies that the 'pkg upgrade' command will upgrade anything needing upgrading. Am I supposed to list the pkg's returned by the 1st command (*not at all* intuitive, nor obvious from man page, which seems to imply the opposite) ? Explicitly fetch them myself (also *not* intuitive, not implied in man page) ? pkg bug ? pilot error ? TIA for any help .... -- William A.
