I know that:

• process 96725 was an update to the FreeBSD-CURRENT host
• process 6548 for the same update to FreeBSD-CURRENT was not the host.

(I know it, only because I keep a fairly detailed record of each update to the host.)

poudriere jail -u -j 14w, 2024-08-26.txt

Thoughts

Is there some way for a poudriere jail with the pkgbase method to not mix its update messages with those of the host?

Thanks
