In the end it was nothing untoward, just a package newly embarnacled
with dependencies, just as I thought in the beginning. That package
is duckdb. If needed I'll build it from source.

Perhaps the more interesting point for this thread is that these 2
commands seem to in fact be equivalent:

- pkg upgrade

- pkg upgrade -g '*'

Reading the manpage I see how I got the idea for the latter, as it
explicitly says nothing new will be installed, even with -g, unless
forced by dependencies; but it never seems to specify what should
happen with the former.  Expert comments?
