How is the message misleading?  It clearly says that distinfo is out of date
and doesn't contain the tarball for the new version which implies that it needs
updating.

> When upgrading a port it's easy to forget there is already a distinfo lying around.

How so?  distinfo will automatically be updated when you run `make makesum`
which you must do anyway after bumping a port's version.
