As far as I can tell from what you've given, you're depending on INDEX-5 to be up to date after your ports upgrade. I don't believe it is and you need to run make index or some other means of getting INDEX-5 to be up to date.. Try this experiment: cvsup your ports note the date and size of /usr/ports/INDEX-5 run " portversion -vL=" or portversion -rRvc keep track of that output now cd /usr/ports make index note the date and size of INDEX-4 run portversion -vL= or portverstion -rRvc I think you'll see a lot more of your installed stuff needs updating.
