You're not doing anything wrong. The pkgdb apparently has some major
differences that is taking a large amount of time to reconcile. I had one
machine that was way behind and took several hours to catch up.
Run pkgdb and go to bed. :) Next day everything should be fine.

I am a newcomer to freebsd and am still trying to get to grips with

When I try to do a binary upgrade of a package it hangs. Recently I
tried to upgrade sylpheed-claws and nothing happened for 2 hours. I
got the following message:
# portupgrade -v -P sylpheed-claws

I get similar behaviour when I try to do pkgdb -F
I am running through a proxy and have
PACKAGESITE="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/Latest/";
in my /etc/profile
I assume that I'm doing something wrong. Can somebody help?
