I am still facing this issue. I have tried several ways of
rebuilding the index and pkgdb but nothing is changing this
behaviour.
Doing a 'make index && pkgdb -fu' gets me a portversion list that
shows nothing needs updating, which is clearly wrong when the cvsup
just prior to it shows changes in ports I have installed.
'make fetchindex && pkgdb -fu'
is more successful, showing all the ports I need to update
correctly(?), however, portversion will still do this....
> portversion -v | grep png
png-1.2.38 < needs updating (port has 1.2.40)
> portupgrade -vrR png-1.2.38

I saw someone ask about this in Google Groups on the 14th but he has
not got an answer yet, so I am not the only one.
How do I fix this?
