Solved Doubt about binary packages after upgrade

C

Hi,
I am upgrading from FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE to 12-RELEASE.
I am following the official documentation:

https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.0R/installation.html

after first reboot, I got this:


Code: 
#  freebsd-update install
Installing updates...

Completing this upgrade requires removing old shared object files.
Please rebuild all installed 3rd party software (e.g., programs
installed from the ports tree) and then run "/usr/sbin/freebsd-update install"
again to finish installing updates.

since I am using binary packages, it is unclear to me if I need to run some commands, or just:

/usr/sbin/freebsd-update install

again.
According to some other references, it seems that running

pkg-static install -f pkg

is required at this stage.
Can someone help me with this doubt?
thank you!
 
I'd say that at this point it's best to indeed install/upgrade pkg with the command that you have
pkg-static install -f pkg or pkg-static upgrade -f pkg
and then upgrade all packages:
pkg upgrade

Then you can proceed with the last step of freebsd-update:
freebsd-update install
 
Hi, sorry for my delay.
I succesfully ran the commands you suggested me, all went ok.
I think it would be great if that such instructions will be explicitly showed in official upgrade release (as for ports users).

Thank you again!
