There may well be packages around that I do not
want installed unless pulled in as a dependency
of something that I do want. So a general wild
card is not what I'm after.

For my explicit list of what to try to install
(in the file) your command does not work for
my purpose/goal:

# pkg install -yU `cat ~/origins/amd64-pkgs.txt`
pkg: No packages available to install matching 'rpi4-edk2' have been found in the repositories
pkg: No packages available to install matching 'rpi4-edk2' have been found in the repositories

Without the two missing packages being listed in
the file, your command does:

# pkg install -yU `cat ~/origins/amd64-pkgs.txt`
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
The following 1 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

New packages to be INSTALLED:
	llvm14: 14.0.0.r4

Number of packages to be installed: 1

The process will require 1 GiB more space.
