Ooops.  'pkg upgrade -f' says 'reinstall everything' -- which was an
error on my part. I meant to type 'pkg update -f' which only refreshes
the repo catalogues.  Apologies.

Hmmmm....  it seems fairly clear to me that the 8 new packages aren't in
the repo catalogue that you're downloading.  You built the repo using
poudriere?  Poudriere does some fun'n'games with symbolic links to
achieve an atomic repo update, which means there is actually a history
of previous versions of the repo kept.  You'll see a directory structure
like this:

% ls -la
total 159
drwxr-xr-x  102 root  wheel  108 Dec  7 00:19 ./
drwxr-xr-x    9 root  wheel   15 Aug  4 11:39 ../
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root  wheel   16 Dec  7 00:19 .latest@ -> .real_1449447572
[...]
drwxr-xr-x    4 root  wheel    8 Dec  5 01:27 .real_1449278821/

lrwxr-xr-x    1 root  wheel   14 Dec 19  2014 Latest@ -> .latest/Latest
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root  wheel   19 Dec 19  2014 digests.txz@ ->

lrwxr-xr-x    1 root  wheel   16 Dec 19  2014 meta.txz@ -> .latest/meta.txz
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root  wheel   23 Dec 19  2014 packagesite.txz@ ->
.latest/packagesite.txz

Does the .latest symlink point at the .real_$TIMESTAMP you're expecting?

	Cheers,
