The security problem caused a lot of files to not be rebuilt for a while. One of those was the INDEX file, which should be back to normal now. B. portversion is a program that is included with portupgrade. It may not show accurate results until you have run pkgdb -Fu, another portupgrade program. Or just switch to using portmaster entirely. > # portmaster -a Did you check /usr/ports/UPDATING first, and do all the things that applied to that system? > ===>>> The ports-mgmt/portmanager port has been deleted: Has expired: Does > not support modern ports features such as MOVED, is lacking upstream and > active contributions, and does not support pkgng.

You have at least three different upgrade programs installed. One was deleted as obsolete (portmanager), and the message recommends switching to one of the others.
