Yes, I thought of that too; unfortunately I cannot reproduce manually. 
Sometime this occurs and sometimes it doesn't.

Nope - i mostly logon the BSD and run that batch by hand, without doing 
anything else.

Everything is fine - my portscollection is in sync and I get no errors 
on updating other than the one I initially wrote about.
Somehow I can't get it out of my head why I cannot put my finger behind 
this minor issue..

Thanks,
Jos
