pkg is telling you "this package was built with 1200055, you are runing
1200054, it will probably break" and refuses to install the package.

If you want to force it, overwrite OSVERSION to 1200055, something like
`pkg -o OSVERSION=1200055 upgrade`.  But this will probably break the
packages you install at one point.
