Description

As described here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=116026.0 - when you upgrade some package before upgrading pfSense, pkg gets upgraded first - and things get badly screwed, rendering the GUI package manager unusable.

While this gets fixed eventually after you upgrade the OS, this certainly is not desirable either way - people may have valid reason to not upgrade the base OS just yet; plus such issue should not happen in the first place.
