22.05 Question about pkg-upgrade command

[JonathanLee]

Hello fellow Netgate community members,

Can you please help? I just noticed that after the upgrade to 22.05 pkg-upgrade now shows 0 candidates, prior when I ran this command it would check for over 500.

That just means every package you have is the most current version and there is nothing to upgrade on there.

Sometimes you might occasionally see it say there are some small number of candidates but the only time you'd see hundreds is when there is a new release available.

@jimp thanks for the information, "pkg upgrade -f" will show 219 and upgrade them. "pkg update" just updates right? And "pkg clean" cleans up left over items?

update updates the metadata.

upgrade upgrades packages from one version to another.

clean removes the cached download archive files.
