The pkg upgrade doesn't do what is says in the man page.

 pkg upgrade [<pkg-origin|pkg-name|pkg-name-version> ...]

Specifically it doesn't work if you specify pkg-name-version.

Test case:

# pkg info -E curl
curl-7.42.0
# pkg upgrade curl-7.42.0
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
Your packages are up to date.
# pkg search curl | grep ^curl-7
curl-7.42.1
# pkg upgrade curl
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.

The following 3 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

New packages to be INSTALLED:
        perl5.18: 5.18.4_14

Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
        curl: 7.42.0 -> 7.42.1
        ca_root_nss: 3.18.1 -> 3.19

The process will require 43 MiB more space.
14 MiB to be downloaded.

If I understand it right, I think this is solved.

this is expected and intended for now, this might be improved later
