I believe the package updates will lag behind the ports source update i.e.
if you use portupgrade -PP and use packages only there will be the
occasional port that does not have a package available. I'm not sure how
long the lag is... I guess different for different ports.

I think you'll just have to accept a slight lag on when you can update
certain ports.

If this is not the real error I'm sure someone will correct me. 

Thanks,
Phil.
