So, first it is installed by default.  What you're seeing is that we had
to backpublish a fix to the entire package in order to fix a potential
upgrade issue.  Entire doesn't contain any packages (merely constrains a
set of packages to specific version).  You don't need to create a new BE
to upgrade entire in this case.  You could do:

pkg install entire

and that will install the new version of entire.
