If you've done a freebsd-update upgrade -r <version> you need to reboot
after the install and usually do another freebsd-update install to clean
out old stuff. If you've simply updated because of a security
announcement the announcement will say whether you need to reboot or
just restart affected software, but it can be easier to reboot rather
than restart a bunch of stuff.
