OK, I did a bit more digging, and found that during one of my more
desperate i.e. less lucid moments I had renamed /var/db/pkg to .../pkg.old
in an attempt to load all of ports again, which I now remember was failing
because of a FreeBSD version mismatch[*]. Looks like pkg got upset and
crashed...
Anyway, here's what you wanted (after I renamed it back):
pkg-1.5.3 > succeeds port (port has 1.2.7)
So yeah, I'm outta date, so I have some work to do...
[*]
Because this is a binary-only system (as supplied to me), the script to
bump the patch level is not present, but it gets incremented on a kernel
update, thus we have:
aneurin# uname -r
9.3-RELEASE-p21
but I know it's at p29 because I faithfully track all updates.
No matter what mirror or technique (FTP/HTTP) was used to load "ports" I
get something like "not found on this server" or something, so I gave up;
it was looking for -p21 but only say -p25 was available.
Does that make sense?
