Solved pkg upgrade strange behavior

[Andrey Lanin]

Hi,

I discovered strange behavior of 'pkg upgrade' :
pkg upgrade shows that there is one candidate for upgrade, but then nothing happens. What would that mean ? Is this behavior normal ? Should I be worried about this?

[lanin@freebsd3 ~]$ freebsd-version -urk
14.0-RELEASE-p2
14.0-RELEASE-p2
14.0-RELEASE-p2
[lanin@freebsd3 ~]$ sudo freebsd-update fetch

Sorry, wrong place for my question.

And I found this

pkg upgrade # What is "(1 candidates)"? [reproducible]

root@freebsd-dns:~ # pkg update Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up to date. All repositories are up to date. root@freebsd-dns:~ # pkg upgrade Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up to date. All repositories are up to date. Checking for...

Please, move my question to right place.

here is the solution (post 34) :

pkg upgrade # What is "(1 candidates)"? [reproducible]

Doesn't provide much clues where it's coming from: root@fbsd-test:~ # pkg -d upgrade DBG(1)[24465]> pkg initialized Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... DBG(1)[24465]> PkgRepo: verifying update for FreeBSD DBG(1)[24465]> Pkgrepo, begin update of '/var/db/pkg/repo-FreeBSD.sqlite'...
