When I run:

I find the first part of that message misleading as I do have packages
installed.
Look at the wording -- *or* are installed and have newer versions
available. There are two cases where you can get no results for
this command. Feel free to file an RFE or 'trivial' severity bug
with suggested wording.
Yes, but my point is that pkg should be able to determine if there are
packages installed, yes? Anyway, can you tell me where (and the
components) I need to open the RFE with?
I disagree that it has to since I don't think the user really cares
about the distinction and as you pointed out, you know there are
packages installed.
I, as a user, found the message disturbing as it made me wonder why pkg
couldn't tell if there were packages installed.
Because I didn't believe it was worth the time to write logic to
determine an error message for every possible permutation of failure
case here, especially for the more obvious ones.
