Yep, it's pretty clear the update did not complete successfully
(despite not complaining at all). I downloaded and manually installed
files from base.txz in the 10.2-RELEASE distribution. /usr/sbin/pkg is
no longer complaining. The INDEX-OLD and INDEX-NEW files left from the
10.1 -> 10.2 freebsd-update process had no mention of
/usr/lib/private/libucl.so.1, though there were entries for other libs
in that private dir. Bizarre! I've had no previous issues doing
release updates with freebsd-update before (besides the manual merging
of config files that have different commit version messages)...
