This can happen when an updated source tarball is released with the same name, although ISTR that we have and MD5 signature matching system to minimise this. Also various problems can arise when using a current ports tree with out of date ports system makefiles (which aren't in the ports tree itself). In addition to keeping the ports tree uptodate via cvsup, have you verified that the makefiles for the ports system (in /usr/share/make IIRC) are uptodate? The ports page on the website includes a number of ports system "update kits". -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
