But be aware that as 8-STABLE gets farther away from 8.0-RELEASE, some of the packages there may not work with your 8.0-RELEASE-pX version, because your version only incorporates critical fixes to 8.0-RELEASE, and not all of the changes in 8-STABLE. Do you have any old packages for automounter in your local package directory? If so, remove them and then re-try the update. It's possible that an old local package may confuse portmaster into thinking that the local package is the latest available package. If the problem still occurs, send a verbose output to the list, using portmaster -v .... b.
