 Well.. Decided to look further into it. Fix proposal.
 
 in pkg_install/info/perform.c, line 123 every installed pkg is looked up =
 on
 disk. If a package exists with the same version, that one is used instead=
  of
 the (much faster) /var/db/pkg info. My proposal:
 
 old line 123:  if ((cp =3D fileFindByPath(NULL, pkg)) !=3D NULL)
 
 new line 123:  if ((MatchType !=3D MATCH_ALL) && ((cp =3D fileFindByPath(=
 NULL,
 pkg)) !=3D NULL))
 
 That seems to work for my case and probably for most practical cases.
  However, someone with more experience in pkg-mgmt (I'm rather new to
  FreeBSD) is more qualified to judge about that.
 
 IMHO it would be better to switch the code-logic, i.e. first test if
 /var/db/pkg/<pkgname+ver> exists and if not, then test for an available
 package. That way not-installed packages get skipped, but installed ones =
 get
 looked up by /var/db/pkg. That seems the final fix to me.
 
 I'm not experience enough with C to provide a diff, but if preferred, I c=
 an
 always try.
