I'm completely new to looking at portupgrade, so don't take my word for anything.

That said, I took a look into this and I saw that  the method generating the error begins with:

 if $portsdb.exist?(arg)

So I looked around and found out what class portsdb is an instance of, then read the exist? method:

  def exist?(port, quick = false)
    return if %r"^[^/]+/[^/]+$" !~ port

    dir = portdir(port)

    return false if not File.file?(File.join(dir, 'Makefile'))

    return true if quick

    make_var('PKGNAME', dir) || false
  end

So, either the regex isn't matching (my regexfu is weak, so I'm working on parsing the regex in my head, which is slow going), or the make_var method is failing, or there's no Makefile for apache22.

A quick look in www/apache22 reveals that the Makefile exists happily, so that's not the issue.

 That's what I've discovered so far.
