I am merely special. Actually, this problem *is* on the FreshPorts
webserver, but it's a problem I encountered while wearing my sysadmin
hat, not my FP hat.

I have that revision.

I've done two. One prior to reading your message and one just now. The
problem persists.

Looking at line 695, the conditions in the if above must be met before
the pre-everything is invoked. It's trying to tell me that some port has
an old format. I'd like to know which one.... *grin* I'm guessing it
must be one of my installed ports given that the problem is being raised
by pkg_version. The condition in question is:
.if (!defined(PATCHDIR) && exists(${MASTERDIR}/patches)) || \
(!defined(PKGDIR) && exists(${MASTERDIR}/pkg)) || \
(!defined(MD5_FILE) && exists(${MASTERDIR}/files/md5))
Does the above provide any suggestions as to where to search next?
