Well, how do you avoid this? I usually cvsup ports-all before trying to 
install a port, and cvsup ports-all every couple of weeks. When I get this 
message the only thing I've been able to figure out to do is delete the 
directory and cvsup again. If I haven't deleted a particular port before 
cvsup'ing it sometimes seems not to update the port.
