There should be another
freebsd-udpate install
here as well to cleanup and remove old shared libs no longer needed after you did
your `pkg upgrade`

Frequently package dependancies change from time to time, and some
dependancy is no longer required by some base package you have
installed, and the old dependancy goes away.
I see this quite often.
You can also do a `pkg autoremove` to clean up packages that may be
orphaned but not detected by this process as well.
