Not all ports with new versions were rebuilt. That is kind of expected 
if there's no recursive rebuild.

As a workaround I simply passed the output of "pkg query %o" to 
poudriere bulk -f. Now poudriere tried to build only the packages with 
newer versions - just as desired.


But then there were build errors for some packages.

Unfortunately, I no longer have the log files. But I think the problem 
was something like this:

A --depends on--> B --depends on--> C

* B was built depending on C version x
* C is upgraded from version x to version y
* rebuild of A is requested
* poudriere tries to install B version x during build
* installation of B fails because version x of C is not longer available
