The update process works the same as before, but in the log files it looks
like "pkg upgrade" can't distinguish between updating packages and simply
installing new ones.

I don't know a lot about the "internal workings" of pkg, but I do use it
(as I update systems "frequently").
This example may be "interesting," as it shows mostly "upgraded," but in
one case (clamav), it shows a deinstall/install pair:
Oct 5 11:09:48 bats pkg[1831]: ca_root_nss upgraded: 3.115_2 -> 3.115_3
Oct 5 11:09:48 bats pkg[1831]: libunistring upgraded: 1.3 -> 1.4
Oct 5 11:09:51 bats pkg[1831]: pango upgraded: 1.56.1 -> 1.56.4
Oct 5 11:09:52 bats pkg[1831]: tiff upgraded: 4.7.0 -> 4.7.1
Oct 5 11:09:52 bats pkg[1831]: clamav-1.4.3_1,1 deinstalled
Oct 5 11:09:54 bats pkg[1831]: curl upgraded: 8.15.0 -> 8.16.0
Oct 5 11:09:54 bats pkg[1831]: pcre2 upgraded: 10.45_1 -> 10.46
Oct 5 11:09:55 bats pkg[1831]: clamav-1.4.3_2,1 installed
Now I tried to compare more machines and the strange thing is, that
sometimes it shows "upgraded" even in the last months and sometimes not.
On the host2 at 2025-07-03 the PHP is logged as upgraded, at 2025-08-26
almost everything is deinstalled and installed, then at 2025-09-29
upgraded. Behavior is not consistent across all the machines but is was
more "upgraded" on all machines in the past. (just comparing numbers of
logged events "installed" / "deinstalled" / "upgraded" in the log files
from previous years)
examples from this year from 2 hosts
host1

host2 (rfc5424 log format)
