Now, forced reinstallation of ports stopped working for me:

	test> pkg -v
	1.8.5

Regular upgrade, fine because there is nothing to upgrade:

	test> sudo ezjail-admin console -e 'pkg upgrade -y' test
	Updating poudriere repository catalogue...
	poudriere repository is up-to-date.
	All repositories are up-to-date.
	Checking for upgrades (0 candidates): 100%
	Processing candidates (0 candidates): 100%
	Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
	Your packages are up to date.

Forced upgrade …

	test> sudo ezjail-admin console -e 'pkg upgrade -y -f' test
	Updating poudriere repository catalogue...
	poudriere repository is up-to-date.
	All repositories are up-to-date.

… without a reinstallation of a single port, though.
