Postmaster is for easy mass upgrading ports member softwares, not for updating ports tree itself.

Try `portsnap fetch update` first, then issue `portmaster -L` again.

I maintain the box w/ pkg almost exclusively, using ports only for browser flash support, nothing else. I nonetheless (try to) keep my ports tree up to date, in case I want to play around w/ compiling stuff locally for better performance, etc. I commonly (not quite daily, but several time a week) run CLI commands to check on availability of pkg/ports upgrades, see below from this A.M.:

> We see about 125 pkg's w/ upgrades available, but no ports. I thought pkg's were made from ports, thus if there were/are new pkg's, there ought to be (approximately) corresponding new ports, no ? This is *not* a serious issue, BTW, just a matter of my understanding being a bit off, so I am just looking for clarification. TIA & have a nice weekend :-) ....
