The best thing to do is the following: rm /var/db/portsnap/tag && portsnap fetch extract This will get you a clean and new ports tree at the expense of a download of ~70 MB.

Does this happen every time you use portsnap?

February 21st, 2012, 08:09

It is normal before. But today portsnap does not work!

Try running portsnap fetch again.
