Pkg upgrade pkg not working under 10.2p7 ?

I have one 10.1-RELEASE, 10.2-RELEASE and 10.211-CURRENT as Parallel VM's on my Mac. A couple of days an upgrade is pending for all machines from pkg(8) 1.6.1 -> 1.6.2.

While the upgrade as # pkg upgrade pkg worked fine under 10.1 it won't work under 10.2-RELEASE or -CURRENT. Is this a known bug or did I miss something ?
 
Yes, portmaster(8) and a build of pkg(8) may working, but the pkg upgrade pkg doesn't. As these are VM's I don't want to build any port ( so even portmaster is not available). On my 10.1-RELEASE-p24 server it has also worked out to do the upgrade. Just with the 10.2 versions it looks like a common failure. Sometimes the pkg upgrade reacts more like pkg update. I already reviewed the errata list and bug reports, but haven't found an entry.

Try pkg-static bootstrap -f.

Hmm, ok, that is a workaround to get pkg to a new version through re-installation. What will happen with the pkg DB ?
Anyhow, I tried the workaround and it also doesn't work: it reinstalls pkg-1.6.1 instead of pkg 1.6.2
... strange ...
