            Bug ID: 250056
           Summary: Ports prematurely demanding the latest ports-mgmt/pkg
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Ports Framework
          Assignee: portmgr at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jwb at freebsd.org
                CC: ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org

I just upgraded my packages with pkg upgrade and ports with portsnap and
currently cannot build any ports from source unless I first install the latest
ports-mgmt/pkg from source.

I assume this will resolve itself as soon as pkg builds catch up on
ports-mgmt/pkg, but I wonder if there's a way we can avoid this situation in
the future.

Glitches like this can be a turn-off to new users exploring FreeBSD.
