As I said before, I was processing UPDATING and as a result, I did run 
this commands:


   pkg(8) users:
     1) Update the origin to point to 5.16:
        pkg set -o lang/perl5.12:lang/perl5.16

     2) Upgrade perl and all dependencies:
        pkg install -Rf lang/perl5.16

But I still have perl5.14, and "pkg upgrade" does not work. This was my 
original problem.

Okay I was not clear. postgresql93-client is installed indeed. But 
postgresql90-client is not:

root at backup:/usr/ports # pkg info | grep postgresql
postgresql93-client-9.3.4      PostgreSQL database (client)
postgresql93-server-9.3.4      The most advanced open-source database 
available anywhere

How can there be a conflict with postgresql90-client? It could be 
postgresql91-client or postgresql92-client the same way, because none of 
them are installed. What makes pkg think that there is a conflict? Is it 
some kind of dependency problem, where it thinks another package 
requires postgresql90-client to be installed, but in reality 
postgresql93-client should be it?

I have already tried this:

pkg set -o databases/postgresql90-client:databases/postgresql93-client
pkg set -o databases/postgresql90-server:databases/postgresql93-server

But " pkg upgrade" it still does not work and I'm still getting warning 
messages:

pkg: WARNING: locally installed postgresql93-client-9.3.4 conflicts on 
/usr/local/share/postgresql/psqlrc.sample with:
         - postgresql90-client-9.0.17

Okay, I was dumb. BTW the problem was not with redirection alone but the 
question ("Proceed with upgrading packages [y/N]:") combined with 
redirection. I have found the magical -y switch - this is clearly my 
fault that I don't know too much about pkgng. So after using

pkg upgrade |& more

I have found that *there is no error message at all*. There are only 
WARNING messages about conflicts.

Then why it is not doing the upgrade?
