Hello all,
I have a question regarding how does exactly pkg update work. I.e. what is the logic pkg uses to check whether or not there are updates to execute? I'm asking this because twice recently I've been left with inconsistent packages after an update + upgrade combo. (see below for examples)
In any case, I have to double check every time to see if anything is missing (with pkg version -vRL=) either that or do pkg upgrade -f which does detect the packages in need of upgrade but will reinstall all other packages.
