Local ports tree is updated; previous ports update was a week ago.  I
happen to know that there's an UPDATING entry:

lgld-dhw(12.2-S)[4] tail +16 /usr/ports/UPDATING | head -5
20210425:
   AFFECTS: users of python
   AUTHOR: k...@freebsd.org

   The default version of python3 and python was switched to 3.8.


And that this machine should be affected:

lgld-dhw(12.2-S)[5] pkg info -o python\*
python27-2.7.18_1              lang/python27
python36-3.6.13                lang/python36
python38-3.8.9                 lang/python38


[As noted above, I had already started evasive action.]

But "pkg updating" is not actually showing the above entry:

lgld-dhw(12.2-S)[6] pkg updating -d 20210424
lgld-dhw(12.2-S)[7] echo $?
0


Am I alone in expecting "pkg updating" to have displayed the 20210425
entry?

(There was an issue a while back, where "pkg updating" was not showing
"glob" entries, but that has since been addressed.)

This is on a machine running stable/12:

lgld-dhw(12.2-S)[8] uname -a
FreeBSD lgld-dhw.corp.example.com 12.2-STABLE FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE #21 
stable/12-n233048-23a3c3d97d72: Sun May  2 04:43:57 PDT 2021     
r...@lgld-dhw.corp.example.com:/common/S2/obj/common/S2/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC
  amd64
lgld-dhw(12.2-S)[9] pkg -v
1.16.3

Thanks.

Peace,
david



The UPDATING file says "users of python" while the pkg/port name is python37. 
So that does not match. It does match for humans but not for computers. :-)
The UPDATING entry should have said something like "users of lang/python*" to 
work.

Ronald.
