Are your local ports-tree up-to-date?


> Hi!
> 
> I'm using FreeBSD 5.2.1 and I'm in trouble with installing software

> It seemed to me that the mirror servers are not uptodate or that

> from ftp-servers worked a few times. 
> But in nearly all cases I had to copy the files manually in
> /usr/ports/distfiles as "make install" finally suggested.
> 
> So I installed a new ports-collection with sysinstall over ftp but
> things haven't changed. I'm a little confused, because fetching data
> from FreeSD ftp-servers doesn't work too (remember that some fetches
> were successful!).

> Please help me,
