I tried this again so I could provide some more details. This is what shows in
the terminal when it stalls:
---> Backing up the old version
---> Uninstalling the old version
USING PKGNG
---> Deinstalling 'pkg-1.0'
---> Preserving /usr/local/lib/libpkg.so.0 as
/usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/libpkg.so.0
The following packages will be deinstalled:
pkg-1.0
The deinstallation will free 7 MB
Deleting pkg-1.0... done
[Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ...
Running ps in another terminal shows "pkg query %n-%v". Since the actual pkg is
now gone, I suspect this is really /usr/sbin/pkg. I further suspect that it's
waiting for y/n input (whether to install the binary pkg) on its nonexistent
stdin somewhere. I killed it (pkg) and portupgrade seemed to finish normally.
