Bug 291200: ports-mgmt/pkg periodic script weekly/400.status-pkg uses a wrong
pkg -R option
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291200



--- Description ---
beginning with version 2.4.x the periodic script weekly/400.status-pkg uses

pkg version -CRv index

so the -R option checks versions ALWAYS remotely with a repository to compare
which
ports/pkg are out of date.
This only works with pkg-only installations. If ports are used, the INDEX and
the ports
tree should be used for comparison, which are automatically checked without the
-R option.
Then it also works with ports installed just like in all other version before.
If no -R option is used, then (according to the manual) pkg version looks into
ports tree 
and INDEX and if both not found, automatically uses -R.
That behaviour also can not be overridden with -I or other options set in
$pkgargs.

Summary: IMHO is the use of -R is simply wrong and it should be removed.
