Software within the FreeBSD Ports Collection can undergo major version number changes.
To address this, pkg has a built-in command to update package origins.
This can be useful, for example, if package:lang/php5[] is renamed to package:lang/php53[] so that package:lang/php5[] can now represent version `5.4`.
