Portsnap and port versions

[Robert Inder]

I asked for help because I was getting an out-of-date version of
portupgrade --- 2.1.3 instead of 2.2.2 --- even though I had usedn
portsnap.

BINGO!!!  I was installing sysutils/portupgrade.  

I knew that portupgrade was in sysutils, so I went straight to it and
used it...

It didn't occur to me that there might be ANOTHER sysutils somewhere
else in the ports tree.

But there was, and the one in ports-mgmt had been updated by
portsnap, so when I installed in THERE...
