Oh sorry :P I should probably have mentioned, I'm running 5.4-REALEASE. If
I run pkg_version -vIL= I get:
pkg_version: illegal option -- I
usage: pkg_version [-hv] [-l limchar] [-L limchar] [[-X] -s string] index
pkg_version -t v1 v2
pkg_version -T name pattern
If I remove the -I it does the job but, presumably, without the speedup. I
guess this means the -I flag was added in 6. My bad.

Hello Alex,
First of all thank you for taking the time to report this and using
FreeBSD, we really appriciate the time and effort taken.
However, pkg_version has the -I option which does the following:
-I Use only the index file for determining if a package is out of
date. This is much faster than using the version number from a
port's Makefile, at the expense of potentially giving an incor-
rect result if the index file is out of date.
at least on my rather recent 6-STABLE :-)
When I run pkg_version -vIL= i get the response that one would
expect. Are you sure you are running a recent version of the
application? Can you share some details with us to see what the
problem might be?
Thanks!
Cheers
remko
