This isn't the correct command to run to assert that.  "pkgin list" or 
"pkg_info" and grep for the package(s) in question.  Search lists every 
package available in the remote repository, and grep for "=" will only 
show local packages that exactly match the remote version.

This is a complicated upgrade scenario that SUPERSEDES does not yet 
handle correctly.

It's likely that php-8.1.31 really is installed and your grep for "=" 
just missed it, so I think for now the best workaround is to pkg_delete 
it manually and then re-install the php packages you need.
