pkg update and pkg upgrade works fine for me too, but pkg updating not.
pkg updating is intended to read /usr/ports/UPDATING file and compare
its content to installed packages and show important messages before
running `pkg upgrade`.
But UPDATING file is not automatically synchronised between build server
and 'client' (machine where I need to run `pkg updating`).
