I know you mentioned UPDATING 20131216, but I suspect you are tripping
over the 20140107 entry.  The quick pkg set commands will probably solve
this.  Sometimes it is hard to determine the right combination of
actions to take from UPDATING if some time has passed; most entries are
written assuming your installed ports match the ports tree by that date.
