It may be -STABLE but it apparently hasn't been updated in a while.  =
You're running FreeBSD version 1201522, which is some flavour of 12.1.  =
As Warner pointed out, FreeBSD 12.1 has reached EOL, and is no longer =
officially supported by ports.

By way of comparison, here is a 12-STABLE system I updated yesterday:

gromit ~% uname -a
FreeBSD gromit.dlib.vt.edu 12.2-STABLE FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE =
stable/12-n232755-dfb372f5d38c GENERIC  amd64
gromit ~% uname -U
1202505


If you want to continue to use ports on that system I suggest you do a =
source upgrade to at least 12.2-STABLE (or else install a 12.2-STABLE =
snapshot).

Cheers,

Paul.
