This is with pkgin 0.8.0. Consider the following situation:

# pkgin av | grep ^jasper
jasper-1.900.1nb10;Software-based reference implementation of the JPEG-2000 codec
jasper-1.900.1nb8;Software-based reference implementation of the JPEG-2000 codec

Directly calling pkgin in jasper picks the nb10 version properly. However, installing a package that depends on jasper seems to prefer nb8:

# pkgin in gdal-lib
calculating dependencies... done.

nothing to upgrade.
2 packages to be installed (744K to download, 42M to install):

jasper-1.900.1nb8 gdal-lib-1.11.1

proceed ? [Y/n] n

Sounds like numerical sorting is not applied for the various parts of the version string when picking the right dep. Same case might be here, but I don't have anything that would depend on nodejs, so can't confirm:

# pkgin av | grep ^nodejs
nodejs-0.10.35;V8 JavaScript for clients and servers
nodejs-0.10.36;V8 JavaScript for clients and servers
nodejs-0.12.0;V8 JavaScript for clients and servers
nodejs-0.8.28;V8 JavaScript for clients and servers

Sounds like plain alpha sorting is being used for display and (possibly) dependency lookup, which doesn't work for the 9->10 version updates.

pkgin: Update to 23.8.0.
39791b8 
## Version 23.8.0 (2023-08-16)

This is the biggest overhaul of pkgin yet!  As well as fixing many bugs, pkgin
23.8.0 runs "pkgin -n upgrade" over 2,000x faster on a test system with 12,663
packages installed compared to 22.10.0 (1.4 seconds vs over 54 minutes).

 * Large overhaul of dependency resolution code, fixing many upgrade issues,
   providing significant performance improvements, and improving code and
   logic readability.

 * Add support for SUPERSEDES.

 * Fix install and removal ordering.

 * Improve and fix handling of "keep" packages, using "pkg_add -A" to
   correctly install automatic packages rather than applying keep or unkeep
   flags afterwards.

 * Output improvements, sorting packages alphabetically and providing a
   simple progress counter.  Fix unwanted output that could end up mixed
   with package paths in "pkgin export".

 * Correct handling of +REQUIRED_BY for reverse dependencies, fixing
   DEPENDS that use alternate matches.

 * Many internal code improvements, memory leaks plugged, and compiler
   warnings eradicated.

Fixes at least the following issues:

 * NetBSDfr/pkgin#10
 * NetBSDfr/pkgin#44
 * NetBSDfr/pkgin#79
 * NetBSDfr/pkgin#95
 * NetBSDfr/pkgin#97
 * NetBSDfr/pkgin#110
 * NetBSDfr/pkgin#113
 * NetBSDfr/pkgin#128
 * NetBSD PR#51465
 * NetBSD PR#56683
