Solved IOCAGE upgrade seems blocked (but was not)

This just took a very, very long time to complete.
I have a thick jail named testjail created by iocage on a FreeBSD-12.1 host. It is, or was, at FreeBSD-12.0. I am attempting to 'upgrade' it to 12.1. The procedure used was:
Code:
| -   | testjail    | down  | 12.0-RELEASE | 192.168.216.144

iocage upgrade testjail -r 12.1-RELEASE
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 12.0-RELEASE from update2.freebsd.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.

The following components of FreeBSD seem to be installed:
src/src world/base world/doc world/lib32

The following components of FreeBSD do not seem to be installed:
world/base-dbg world/lib32-dbg

Does this look reasonable (y/n)? y

And at this point it just seems to stop responding. Top with 'm' shows this:
Code:

As the VCWS / IVCSW values keep changing for the upgrade script it seems that it is doing something. But it is taking an inordinate amount of time about it. Is there any way to check if this is a real problem or is simply an overlong process?
 
I didn't answer you because I never upgraded a jail with iocage. But a simple update takes (long) time as well.
