Hello David,
I did replicate this and it seemed related to a handful of recent
UDPATING entries that were made without a trailing colon after the date.
I normalized all the entries for consistency and am seeing `pkg updating
-d 20160626` return the expected output for me. Please see if that
resolved the issue for you as well.

Jason
