I upgraded pkg to today to 1.4.10 and got the following new (and 
different) warning:

{142} # pkg upgrade
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.

{144} # pkg -v
1.4.10
.
The ap24-mod_perl2 port is www/mod_perl2.  I use different options from 
the default,  so I need to compile the port.
I also lock it so that pkg does not try to modify it when I do 'pkg 
upgrade'.

This has worked fine until the latest version of pkg.  I now get the 'no 
direct installation candidates' message.

Question:  why is this message generated?
Question:  what can I do to suppress the message and still not have pkg 
update the port from the repository?
