.... I am still having problems getting pkg to upgrade as I think it
should based on my read of the man page:

1st command seems to show some pkg's w/ upgrades available, but the 'pkg
upgrade' command does nothing .... The man page pretty explicitly
implies that the 'pkg upgrade' command will upgrade anything needing
upgrading. Am I supposed to list the pkg's returned by the 1st command
(*not at all* intuitive, nor obvious from man page, which seems to imply
the opposite) ? Explicitly fetch them myself (also *not* intuitive, not
implied in man page) ? pkg bug ? pilot error ? TIA for any help ....
