[Bug 284538] ports-mgmt/pkg: The option '-o' in command version

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=284538

            Bug ID: 284538
           Summary: ports-mgmt/pkg: The option '-o' in command version
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: pkg@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: paolo.enriello@hotmail.com
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(pkg@FreeBSD.org)

the command

    pkg version -o -l '<'

shows the stale packages using ports name. The resulting rows shows

   category/port          <
   category/port          <
   ...

the space between the port name and the '<' character is fixed, if the name is
longer than the padding the name and '<' character are not separated by a
space, resulting in an effort to parse the output:

    category/port         <
    category/very-long-port-name<

this does not happen using package names (omitting '-o' option). This is
changed from version 2.x.x (I guess).

I have a script that formats the result of command above and stop working for
ports longer than the padding space. This is an example:
