bectl, chroot, pkg upgrade, no record of the upgrade in /var/log/messages

Sun May 2 11:42:29 UTC 2021

This morning I created a boot environment, mounted it at

/tmp/up

– then chroot to /tmp/up and at 09:52,

pkg upgrade -y -r FreeBSD

Upgrade succeeded. I activated then unmounted the environment, restarted.

No record of the upgrade in /var/log/messages – is this normal?
