You may not have. Sometimes people update the ports and leave things
out. If you have done a recent cvsup of ports-all, try the following.
cd /usr/ports
make index
portsdb -u
There are times when portsdb has problems and there are times when
"make index" falls on its face. I had a good "make index" at 0000
UTC.
