Is there a way to file a bug report against the upgrade instructions to fix this? It should say: run pkg -f upgrade and possibly rebuild all your ports if pkg fails to run, use: pkg-static -f install pkg pkg -f upgrade Right now, it fails entirely to mention pkg, and it also doesn't mention that pkg may break and you need to use pkg-static.
