pkg_alternatives broken?

Hi!

After upgrading to Python 3.14, I wanted 'python' to be 'python3.14' -
it was still starting python3.13.

However, I can't get pkg_alternatives to switch to that. I tried both

pkg_alternatives manual python314
pkg_alternatives manual python314-3.14.0

and it helpfully prints

# pkg_alternatives manual python314
pkg_alternatives: modifying configuration from `/usr/pkg/etc/pkg_alternatives/usr/pkg/bin/idle'
pkg_alternatives: modifying configuration from `/usr/pkg/etc/pkg_alternatives/usr/pkg/bin/pydoc'
pkg_alternatives: modifying configuration from `/usr/pkg/etc/pkg_alternatives/usr/pkg/bin/python'
pkg_alternatives: modifying configuration from `/usr/pkg/etc/pkg_alternatives/usr/pkg/bin/python3'

but it's not doing what it's supposed to:

# cat /usr/pkg/etc/pkg_alternatives/usr/pkg/bin/*
/usr/pkg/bin/idle3.13
/usr/pkg/bin/pydoc3.13
/usr/pkg/bin/python3.13
/usr/pkg/bin/python3.13

Deleting pkg_alternatives and /usr/pkg/etc/pkg_alternatives didn't
help either.

Even worse, when I manually edit the wrapper files to call the 3.14
versions and then call pkg_alternatives, it switches back to 3.13:

# pkg_alternatives manual python314
pkg_alternatives: modifying configuration from `/usr/pkg/etc/pkg_alternatives/usr/pkg/bin/idle'
pkg_alternatives: modifying configuration from `/usr/pkg/etc/pkg_alternatives/usr/pkg/bin/pydoc'
pkg_alternatives: modifying configuration from `/usr/pkg/etc/pkg_alternatives/usr/pkg/bin/python'
pkg_alternatives: modifying configuration from `/usr/pkg/etc/pkg_alternatives/usr/pkg/bin/python3'
# cat /usr/pkg/etc/pkg_alternatives/usr/pkg/bin/*
/usr/pkg/bin/idle3.13
/usr/pkg/bin/pydoc3.13
/usr/pkg/bin/python3.13
/usr/pkg/bin/python3.13

Am I misunderstanding how to use this or is this a bug?
