No error, no nothing.

I'm also having this identical problem. Portmaster yields the same result. FreeBSD 10R-p7

Re: Portupgrade does nothing, what's wrong?

Did you move to the new package tool? pkg_* have passed away. See (amongst others): [FreeBSD-Ports-Announce] Time to bid farewell to the old pkg_ tools. As far as I understand it, even when compiling from ports you need to make the move to pkg, but I could be wrong as I never used anything else and so did not see the deprecation warning you should have received while installing ports.

Re: Portupgrade does nothing, what's wrong?

Ran pkg2ng, added WITH_PKGNG=yes to /etc/make.conf.

Now all is working again.

Thanks.

No, it’s not weird: there has to be a package management tool in the system, whether you use pre-built packages or ports to install them.

Well, almost. It used to be possible to use the ports system with no package registration at all (by setting NO_PKG_REGISTER) meaning the ports you installed weren't showing in pkg_info listing. PKG and staging changes that because only pkg(8) knows how to deal with the pkg-plist file that is used for the real installation now from the temporary stage directory.

Thanks @kpa, I didn't know that. I came to FreeBSD very recently, when the new package system had started replacing the old one.
