If I'm not wrong, portversion/pkg_version relies on ports index (man 8 portupgrade) which needs to be up to date in order for portversion to be accurate. This is not done on a daily basis for the ports tree (as it takes some time). What you should try to do is check that your pkgdb is ok and fix any problems: #pkgdb -F then update the ports index (which takes a while) #portsdb -Uu Then run your portversion/pkg_version which should give more accurate results. Hope this helps. -- "Optimized, readable, on time; Pick any two."=20 FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT i386=20 2:42PM up 7 days, 16:15, 4 users, load averages: 1.05, 0.60, 0.63 --=-+M+CBvg5HaLjB+NREKYP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA/NepLDAqnLW/+/X8RAv52AKDlkpUL+sVl2T+6ZKwadTCOSPBligCgw++o z+RYsx9q3uazzpfYlvSXeCs= =0C6u -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-+M+CBvg5HaLjB+NREKYP--
