Stuff like this:

binwalk-2.3.3: checksum mismatch for /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/binwalk/plugins/__pycache__/lzmavalid.cpython-39.opt-1.pyc

the patch that introduced this has since been reverted, so any new
or updated packages will sort themselves out after pkg upgrade.

To fix any leftovers, just force-reinstall the affected packages:

pkg install -r FreeBSD -f <pkg_names>

I am not sure if this would preserve the flag that marks
packages as auto-installed, for example as a dependency of
another package.

You could do `pkg list prime-origins` before and after to compare
that. Using `pkg install --automatic` would set that flag, there
might be a smarter way to do that without actually reinstalling.
