If you noted this looking for M:tier pkg updates via
Code:
pkg_add -u
which matches every installed pkg, there is an alternative.

I follow M:tier Update Web Page and if a new update shows up I use grep to see if I have the pkg that needs updating.

For example there were two recent cups-filters updates

haproxy — security fix
cups-filters — security fix
polkit — security update
libxml — security fix
ruby — security fix
pcre — security fix
wesnoth — security fixes
cups-filters — security fix
libwmf — security fix
$ PooBear$ pkg_info | grep cups
cups-libs-2.0.3 CUPS libraries and headers
PooBear$


I use lpr without foomatic-rip so I never installed cups-filters. If I was using foomatic-rip, I would run:
# pkg_add -u cups-filters
