What was the exact command you ran?  Was it something of the form "pkg 
upgrade -x foo"?  I ask because pkg has a bug where providing an -x 
pattern to pkg-upgrade results in it matching a bunch of uninstalled 
packages.

For a fun example, try running `pkg upgrade -x perl5`.  Even better 
(though not for a slow machine) is `pkg upgrade -x p5-`, where it tell 
you it needs to install ~5800 new packages. :-)
