Given that the message is in a log file which likely won't be looked at by
anyone who is uncomfortable with executing a command, I think a variant of
the first is likely the best answer. I might include the package name,
though.
pkg list x11/server/xorg
will tell you whether or not the package can be updated, but you have to
know what the "u" off to the right means. You could say
pkg list -u x11/server/xorg
but the message you get back when there are no updates available is
somewhat distressing (no packages matching '...' installed). And you could
do
pkg list -af x11/server/xorg
but that takes quite a bit longer to execute. I'd say that "list -u" is
the right one here, once we get the message cleaned up.
