Try pkg update -f and see if it solves your problem.

 

[antolap]

I get the same same error.

What else to do?

 

[cpm@]

Please try pkg update -f before pkg upgrade

Also, be sure that you have installed the latest pkg(8) release

% pkg -v
1.7.2

 

[antolap]

yes 1.7.2

and I still get the error with

pkg upgrade -f

or

pkg upgrade

help me!

Seems that is a bug. Look at this discussion:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-pkg/2014-December/000850.html
and the bug report:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195961

Raise your issue in the PR 195961 to avoid duplicate this bug.

A possible workaround came in mind (but don't know if works):
you can try updating with pkg install.

When you try to install an already installed package, pkg will answer

The most recent version of packages are already installed

if there is not a new version, instead will give you the possibility to upgrade if there is a newer one.

To do so, get a list of packages that are not dependecies of others, and pass that list to pkg install.
pkg install `pkg query -e '%#r = 0' %o | cut -f2 -d \/`.
