I think you may be confusing the purpose of these two utilities. portsnap is
used to update your ports tree (/usr/ports directory). 'portsdb -U' will
update your ports INDEX. Neither of these actually updates the software you
have installed on your system; for that you can try portupgrade
(ports-mgmt/portupgrade).
