pkg log messages

I did a "pkg upgrade" on a desktop system using a pkgbase repo.  When upgrading
to a repo built from commit c751d067c166db71ce8bf3a323c62ac3428bd32a, a number
of packages were upgraded but at some point post-install scripts started
failing due to a missing cap_mkdb(1).

I don't have the pkg output anymore, though I will try upgrading another host
to see if I can reproduce this.  I attached a snippet of /var/log/messages
containing pkg messages.  The FreeBSD-libbsdxml and FreeBSD-libregex packages
were uninstalled, I guess because of commits
30975efbaff0a021545e81bd9fa09d848edfaafa and
dfa9131d709121b2e502a82ff66cf3e376654942.  Then,
FreeBSD-utilities-14.snap20210907220446 is installed, not upgraded.  Later,
FreeBSD-utilities-14.snap20210827204353 is uninstalled, which seems to be where
the problem starts.
