Silent failure of 'pkg upgrade'

Sun Oct 28 19:44:21 UTC 2018

Since July, 2015, I have been updating my "production" machines here at
home on a weekly basis; for the ports/packages phase of this, I have
been using poudriere (on a dedicated "build machine") to build packages
for the production machines.

Overall, this approach has been working quite well.

Thus, I was rather surprised to find after this morning's update that
the packages had actually not been updated at all.

Reviewing the typescript, I see that sailent parts of it read:

[For those who may be curious: I circumvented the problem -- once I
discovered its existence -- by deleting the graphics/gimp* packages,
re-issuing "pkg upgrade", then installing graphics/gimp.]

I'm a little(!) concerned, though, that pkg would encounter an issue
that caused it to completely fail to perform what it had been doing, and
then exit with a status of 0.

Am I missing something that others would find obvious, here?  (I thought
a reality check might be in order before filing a bug report.)

Thanks.  Replies directed to the list: I'm subscribed.

Peace,
