Wanting to find out which packages needed an update, I referred to FAQ 15:
"Invoking pkg_add(1) with the -u flag and no package name will just
examine all installed packages for updated versions."
This results here in
# pkg_add -u

Huh, this *does* update python, doesn't it?
I am running 4.0, and I do understand the word 'examine' as resulting in
a to-do list, not as in 'I done it for you'.
Can someone please enlighten me, with a Cc: ?
Thanks,
Uwe
