Okay, I followed Matthew's advice and ran 'make index', but that did
not change anything. The line described by Tiji is present and correct
in the '/etc/portsnap.conf' file.

Also, 'pkg version -vP=3D' bombs out with an "illegal option -- =3D". Sans
the "=3D", it reports, "postfix-current-3.2.20170129,4     >   succeeds
index (index has 3.2.0.r1,4), which is what was being reported
previously.

I even ran 'portsdb -Fu' which updated the index also. However, that
did not correct the problem.

I am open to suggestions.
