portupgrade failure

[FreeBSD MailingLists]

I am having the same problem.
I have tried the "make fetchindex" approach but it doesn't solve it for me.
you mentioned something about /usr/ports/UPDATING, but was unable to find
a relevant entry.
can you please tell me the entry date that helped you with this problem?

Thank you,
Tomoki Taniguchi
