Perl version change and ports/UPDATING

[David Wolfskill]

While the actual change to the Perl version works fine for me, I
find that invoking "pkg updating" fails to display the 20180330
ports/UPDATING entry.  I got lucky, because I found out about the
change a different way.

I maintain /usr/ports as an SVN working copy, using a local private
mirror (updated nightly):

g1-215(11.1-S)[1] svn info /usr/ports/
Path: /usr/ports
Working Copy Root Path: /usr/ports
URL: file:///svn/freebsd/ports/head
Relative URL: ^/head

g1-215(11.1-S)[2] 


The 20180330 entry does exist in /usr/ports/UPDATIMG:

g1-215(11.1-S)[2] grep -i -B 2 -A 2 perl /usr/ports/UPDATING | head

20180330:
  AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5*
  AUTHOR: mat at FreeBSD.org

  The default Perl version has been switched to Perl 5.26.  If you are using
  binary packages to upgrade your system, you do not have anything to do, pkg
  upgrade will do the right thing.  For the other people, follow the
--

g1-215(11.1-S)[3] 


I have Perl installed:

g1-215(11.1-S)[3] pkg info -o perl5\*
perl5-5.26.1                   lang/perl5.26
g1-215(11.1-S)[4] 


But "pkg updating -i" fails to display the 20180330 entry for me;
it does show entries for some(?) other ports I have installed:

g1-215(11.1-S)[4] pkg updating -i | head
20180319:
  AFFECTS: users of dns/dnsmasq
  AUTHOR: mandree at FreeBSD.org

  Note that with dnsmasq 2.79, some parts of the interface have changed in an
  incompatible way versus previous versions. This comprises changed recursion
  behaviour, signature support, a change for SIGINT (vs. SIGHUP) behaviour.

  Note especially that dnsmasq will no longer answer non-recursive queries
  unless it is marked authoritative!  Be sure to see the manual page for the
g1-215(11.1-S)[5] 


Is the above a demostration of a problem with "pkg updating"?
Something else?

Thanks!

Peace,
david
