That -U makes sense to me. If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't available in earlier versions. Wondering if there are reasons for using only -u? What I'd use next time after a sysupgrade and reboot:
Code:
fw_update
pkg_add -vvvvviUu
pkg_delete -a
pkg_check -vvvvv
sysmerge
First a firmware update, -vvvvv is for output, which I like to read, -i is interactive mode (asks questions if there is something difficult), -a is for deleting unused dependencies and pkg_check I like to use for checking the consistency of all the installed packages (and indeed I had some dependency issues pointed out by pkg_check, a gtk package wanted to have the whole mate desktop, but it's ok now).
