Bug ID: 296419
Summary: 15.1 Upgrade Webpage shows different command output
than reality
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest

Status: New

FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE Upgrading Instructions
[...]
The procedure for binary upgrades depends on the method used to manage =
the
operating system. To determine this, run the following command:
pkg which /usr/bin/uname
If /usr/bin/uname was not installed by a package is shown, see Upgrading
with Distribution Sets below.
If a package name is shown, such as FreeBSD-runtime-15.0, see Upgrading
with Base System Packages below.
[END QUOTED WEBPAGE]
My system (15.0 fully patched, upgrading to 15.1):
# pkg which /usr/bin/uname
/usr/bin/uname was not found in the database
which is not the same as the expected documented output:
/usr/bin/uname was not installed by a package
"Not installed" (which the web page says) and "Not found in the database"
(which the command actually outputs) seem like they might be different thin=
gs,
but apparently they are not in this case.
It would be helpful if the documentation used the actual same wording as the
actual command, so people doing upgrades don't get confused.
