Hi Yuri,

I'm aware of two issues with name changes.  This is from memory, so
correct me if I my memory is wrong.

1. pkg version -vl'<' will not report wpa_gui-2.6_1 needs to be
   upgraded even though PORTREVISION was bumped.

2. A simple pkg upgrade will not upgrade wpa_gui-2.6_1 to
   wpa_supplicant_gui-2.6_2.  Users will have to `pkg install
   wpa_supplicant_gui-2.6_2`.

I became aware of this issue recently.  Unfortunately, ports with
USES=emacs have package names that include the Emacs version like
pdf-tools-emacsxx-0.80.101.  When the version of editors/emacs changed
from 25.x to 26.x pdf-tools-emacs25-0.80.101 changed to
pdf-tools-emacs26-0.80.101 and we hit the same issues.

Also, I just tried building net/wpa_gui_supplicant, but it failed.
