There are other reports of a:

pkg: Warning: Major OS version upgrade detected.  Running "pkg bootstrap -f" recommended

problem. The ones that I'm aware of are:

(It was split across the month boundary for "solved".)

(The last for Steve K. is about how solved.)

But I cannot not tell if there is a common cause or a common
solution.
