I did a pkg upgrade on a pkgbase-enabled laptop and got the following, though
the upgrade completed successfully:

[1/364] Upgrading glib from 2.70.0_1,2 to 2.70.1,2...

So there's a window where FreeBSD-utilities (which contains /usr/sbin/service)
is uninstalled, and that causes random script failures.  pkg should be
configured somehow to avoid creating such windows.

It looks like we split the upgrade job into two because of this conflict:

Checking integrity... done (1 conflicting)                                      
  - FreeBSD-runtime-14.snap20211102230608 [FreeBSD-base] conflicts with
FreeBSD-utilities-14.snap20211022204826 [installed] on
/usr/share/man/man8/sconfig.8.gz

A little while ago I fixed pkg to ensure that upgrade-deletion jobs are
processed before upgrade-installation jobs, but I guess we need to go further
and try to minimize the window where such a package is uninstalled.
