persisting pkg questions ....

[William A. Mahaffey III]

.... 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 ....
