It take a little bit more to upgrade your installed ports than just use
portupgrade! Most probably you started using portupgrade without doing
pkgdb -F first and portsdb -Uu. You should uninstall every port that
has double versions installed, uninstall both of them and then follow
the instructions on this site to upgrade and reinstall the ports:
