The portsnap messes with pkg's logic about what needs upgrading & what
doesn't, there have been other posts on this topic over the last several
weeks (notably from me) .... Ports & Pkg's are usually updated by the
maintainers about weekly, ports often/usually on Wednesday, Pkg's on
Saturday. My experience is that if you wait until Saturday, your
'pkg-upgrade' will work as desired & you will be off to the races.
Alternatively, you can 'pkg install -yf ....' your pkg & move on
immediately .... In general, for me, you should do any pkg-upgrades
*before* you mess w/ ports. $0.02, no more no less ....
