Manually installed packages that currently have dependencies are not listed by `pkg leaf`. How many packages are out of date vs moved but correct version at time of update changes how many edits are necessary. As the original goal was to remove+reinstall all packages to install the up to date and functioning copies, either case needs to be considered as pkg cannot auto handle either when it is two separate steps of remove+reinstall.
