upgrade
              If supplied, allow upgrading to the latest version of a package.

       This  type requires that repository definitions already exist in /etc/pkg/*.conf.  Ensure that they exist
       prior to use of this type with __file.

       pkg-ng can't upgrade a package to a specific version. If this type needs to upgrade  a  package,  it  can
       only  ugprade  to  the  latest  available version. If the "upgrade" parameter is not given and an upgrade
       needs to occur, an error will result.
