FYI: It appears that command like "pkg install -rFreeBSD-base -g FreeBSD-set-kernels\*" do not check the set's packages

I tried the likes of: pkg install -rFreeBSD-base -g FreeBSD-set-kernels\* pkg upgrade -rFreeBSD-base -g FreeBSD-set-kernels\* and got no kernel packages when there were upgrades available. Using the -set- was insufficient. I had to do something more explicit about the varying naming of the direct kernel packages instead. Then I got the upgrades. If it is intended that -set-'s can not be used this way, I expect that the man pages should be rather explicit about that. -- === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
