[Bug 283477] graphics/drm-61-kmod cannot rebuild using portmaster

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283477

--- Comment #4 from web@umich.edu ---
From comment number #1 am I to understand that if I was running FreeBSD 15.x
instead of 14.2-STABLE that I would not have this problem?

Then from comment number #2 is this a problem with "pkg version" or not?  When
I run "make fetchindex" while root within /usr/ports I expect (and have always
gotten) to get a fresh copy of INDEX-14 (in this case).  Is this not the right
thing to do?  Is this what is broken?  I ask this because after I run that make
command, the string "550.127.05.1402501" is present inside associated with the
x11/nvidia-driver port.

Why then does running "portmaster x11/nvidia-driver" continue to rebuild the
same (wrong, older) verion of the x11/nvidia-driver port?  Am I doing something
wrong here?  I have always done this in the past.  When a port is reported to
be in need of an update after running the "pkg version -vIL=" command, running
portmaster on that port always has (in the past) built/updated that port from
source after fetching the tar(1) file from wherever.  In this case (for the
x11/nvidia-driver port) the fetch mechanism of the portmaster script/command
continues to fetch the wrong/older version of the x11/nvidia-driver source. 
After the portmaster command finishes it reports having reinstalled the
same/wrong/older version of that port!

Finally in comment number #3 it seems he is talking about a file that is not
part of my /usr/ports tree.  I have INDEX-14 but no file (lower case) "index"
in my
/usr/ports directory.  After I run "git pull" in /usr/ports I always run the
"make fetchindex" command.  I never have heard of any "auto index builder". 
Could someone please help me to clear up my confusion here?  Thanks to all who
have read and commented on this bug report.  Have a great day!
