There you have it :

process with pid 96727 still holds the lock

Did you asked yourself : who is this process ID : 96727 ?
Let me bet on this one : it's called 'pkg' ;) Which means another pkg instance is already running.
I've seen this in other forum posts.

Look at Diagnostics > System Activity
Or far better : use the SSH (or console) access, option 8 and

ps ax | grep 'pkg'

Stop process 96727 :

kill 96727

My advise :
Always stop the services of the big packages that you want to upgrade.
With big I mean : snort, suricata, ntopd, Traffic_totals etc.

edit : see the forum for recent ntopd issues.

You may need to manually remove /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf if it is no longer needed.

After that I tried to update and it does not work

I did everything again and then restarted the system and then I tried to update and it also did not work
