pkg upgrade doesn't find an existing but locked package

[kibab]

I have a locked zabbix24-server package with the version 2.4.2

$ pkg info -kx zabbix-*
zabbix24-agent-2.4.4           no
zabbix24-server-2.4.2          yes

I want to upgrade it to 2.4.4. Expected behaviour is that pkg refuses to upgrade because the package is, well, locked. However, pkg fails with "no packages available..." error

$ sudo pkg upgrade  zabbix24-server                                                                                                                                                            
Updating FreeBSD-Q repository catalogue...
FreeBSD-Q repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.
pkg: No packages available to upgrade matching 'zabbix24-server' have been found in the repositories

If I unlock the package, pkg will proceed just fine. I think the error message is misleading,

[kibab]

pkg is installed from ports:

$ pkg -v
1.5.1

What behavior do you expect? Message about what package locked and cannot be upgraded?

[kibab]

Sorry for not responding. Yes, because that's the cause why nothing is done, not that no package is available in the repo.

@kibab if you're not already aware, pkg-version(8) can show whether something needs upgrading regardless of its lock status.

For demonstration purposes only:

pkg version -vRL=
