Here is output..

But how does it help?
Having installed the upgradefrom apache-2.2.9_3 to 2.2.9_5 the database 
naturally shows the result of upgrading the database. Is it not more about 
what version portupgrade is expecting to find? Having upgraded why dhould it 
expect to find  apache-2.2.9_3????

root at dns1 /usr/home/david]# pkg_info -o apache*
