Okay, I followed Matthew's advice and ran 'make index', but that did not change anything. The line described by Tiji is present and correct in the '/etc/portsnap.conf' file. Also, 'pkg version -vP=' bombs out with an "illegal option -- =". Sans the "=", it reports, "postfix-current-3.2.20170129,4 > succeeds index (index has 3.2.0.r1,4), which is what was being reported previously. I even ran 'portsdb -Fu' which updated the index also. However, that did not correct the problem. I am open to suggestions. -- Carmel _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
