How can I fix such a problem?

Does this happen every time you use portsnap?

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

Try running portsnap fetch again.

You could also try another mirror: http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-03-23-portsnap-mirrors.html

This will often go wrong. If you don't run portsnap at least once a week or a couple of times a month, catching up andintegrating thousands of patches will become error-prone. 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. At least you'll be done faster thandownloading, unzipping, and integrating thousands of patches into an existing ports tree.

Thanks for all your answer. I will portsnap extract as DutchDaemon suggests.
