pkg upgrade -v segfaults

[ghost]

As below:

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

Checking for upgrades (21 candidates):  33%Child process pid=10544 terminated abnormally: Segmentation fault

I didn't know -v is for "vulnerable" as it's not documented and I was hoping it would give me more verbose output, but anyway.

I was tempted to look into fixing this, but I must admit that I don't understand this option completely -- is it supposed to show/upgrade only vulnerable packages? Something else?

I don't know why yet, but the call to pkg_rdeps on line 771 of libpkg/pkg_jobs.c causes this when the package being evaluated is pkg itself.

I think pull request #1903 fixes this.

this seems should also be a priority

I can't reproduce this one anymore, I would be tempted to mark it as over come by events
