Hi,

On my FreeBSD box running 8.0-RELEASE-p3, I have tried to use PORTMASTER tool to upgrade my ports via packages only.
Then I added the following line to my user's .cshrc file and root's .cshrc file, and re-opened user's session : 
setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.fr.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/All/

Then I typed this linde into a console : 
% sudo portmaster -PP -a -x openoffice

I past the output : 
===>>> The following actions will be taken if you choose to proceed:
    Upgrade automounter-1.4.2 to automounter-1.4.3
    Upgrade liveMedia-2010.05.29,1 to liveMedia-2010.06.11,1
    Upgrade portmaster-2.29 to portmaster-2.32
    Upgrade bash-4.1.5_2 to bash-4.1.7
    Upgrade iso-codes-3.16_1 to iso-codes-3.17
    Upgrade p5-libwww-5.834 to p5-libwww-5.836
    Upgrade tiff-3.9.3 to tiff-3.9.4
    Upgrade filezilla-3.3.2.1_2 to filezilla-3.3.3
    Upgrade gnupg-2.0.14_2 to gnupg-2.0.15
    Upgrade libassuan-1.0.5 to libassuan-2.0.0
    Upgrade wine-1.2.r3,1 to wine-1.2.r4,1

===>>> Proceed? y/n [y]

===>>> Starting install for for ports that need updating <<<===

===>>> Launching child to update automounter-1.4.2

===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/sysutils/automounter
===>>> Checking package repository for latest available version

===>>> The newest available package (automounter-1.3.4)
       is older than the version in ports (automounter-1.4.3)

===>>> Try --packages-if-newer, or do not use -PP/--packages-only
===>>> Aborting update

===>>> Update for automounter-1.4.2 failed
===>>> Aborting update

The strange thing is the 'automounter-1.4.3' package is available on the FTP repository configured for PACKAGESITE.

Elsewhere, I have tested these FTP repositories (for PACKAGESITE variable) without success : 
ftp://ftp.fr.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/Lastest/
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/Lastest/
ftp://ftp.fr.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/All/

Thanks in advance for your help.
