Check `pkg info -b compat-libraries` and `ldconfig -r | grep util.so.9`.
The first should show that the compat-libraries package provides the
library, the second should show that the linker finds it.

(although to be fair it appears `pkg upgrade` does not take the fact
that it intends to keep copies of the removed libraries into account
when deciding to remove a package because libraries it needs are no
longer available, so this feature still needs work, but it's there)

`pkg delete compat-libraries` (pkg should refuse to delete it if some of
its libraries are still needed)
