Checking for upgrades (6candidates)

Hi!
I have a longer time problem with "candidates". It was on FreeBSD 15.-RE$LEASE and it is now on 15.1-RELEASE too.

pkg upgrade

The following 3 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
        gpu-firmware-amd-kmod-picasso: 20250109.1501000 -> 20260519.1500068 [FreeBSD-ports]
        gpu-firmware-amd-kmod-raven: 20250109.1501000 -> 20260519.1500068 [FreeBSD-ports]
        wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod: 20251125 -> 20260410 [FreeBSD-ports]

Number of packages to be upgraded: 3

The operation will free 3 MiB.
770 KiB to be downloaded.

MC is built from ports but other 4?

I had the similar problem very long time and I solved it but now I cannot.

Thank you.
 
And one more info:

Why is mixing packages from ports-kmods with ports?
 
Remove the gpu-firmware packages and install again, they are version independent.
I would suggest the same for drm-kmod (not version independent), but remove from kld_list amdgpu before rebooting in case you have issues. For the others I don't know.

I gave up. I pkg delete for firmware raven and picasso and for wifi and pkg install all 3 which were installed form FreeBSD-ports.
IWhen I run pkg uprade I have 6 candidates still but if I run pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-ports-kmods I have 3 candidates and for the same 3 candidates when I run pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-ports.
I gave up.
Thank you.
