man pkg_add states: -u Update the given pkgname(s), and anything it depends upon. If no pkgname is given, pkg_add will update all installed packages. This relies on PKG_PATH to figure out the new package names.
However if I run -u with no package name, it tells me a list of possible candidates, but doesn't actually update anything. I have to manually do each one. Am I doing something wrong or is this expected for some reason?
