Thanks to bapt for the hint.

In my case the backups are elsewhere, because I habitually create then 
mount a boot environment before upgrading the environment.

Not a showstopper, just a mention.

% pkg info --list compat-libraries | grep -v 
compat-libraries-20241017170824 | wc -l
       52
% pkg info --list compat-libraries | grep /tmp/up | wc -l
       52
% file /tmp/up
/tmp/up: cannot open `/tmp/up' (No such file or directory)
