OK, portupgrade(1) _is_ looking for 1.2.5_8 but it is trying to get it
from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.9-release/All
where the version of png is 1.2.5_2, so how to resolve the conflict?
Seems to me that portupgrade(1) needs to be getting the packages from
packages-4-stable/All instead?

Precisely.

Will that change where portupgrade(1) tries to get the packages from?

Thanks.
