I did not get that one? Does pkg_add not reconize the new format, or?
Even if I try to run pkg_add without any parameters, it still dies, is
it pkg_add that is broken?

What do you mean with 1e and 1f? I'm not into this cvsup thing, I just
need it to update my ports tree. Should I get the source and build it,
and if so, where should I place the source prior to build? Will this
fix my problem, or is it an entire new problem?
