>Description:
	portupgrade -PP kde tries to fetch a package from packages-5-stable, which isn't on the master or mirror sites.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	
	portinstall -PP kde

	I see this failure:

--->  Fetching kde-3.3.0
fetch: ftp://freebsd.lcs.mit.edu/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/All/kde-3.3.0.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
** The command returned a non-zero exit status: 1
** Failed to fetch ftp://freebsd.lcs.mit.edu/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/All/kde-3.3.0.tbz
fetch: ftp://freebsd.lcs.mit.edu/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/All/kde-3.3.0.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
** The command returned a non-zero exit status: 1

>Fix:

	

	If portupgrade is right to think that FreeBSD 5.3-BETA3 (BETA2 with a cvsup on 09/10) is stable, then put packages or a symlink under packages-5-stable; if not, portupgrade is confused; if it's ambivalent, portupgrade should probably get a bit smarter, but I'm not sure which is best (or even true).
