Subject:   problems with port upgrade consistency using portsnap

Hello,
I am using portsnap to update my port collection on FreeBSD 9.1

the first time I ran it a few weeks ago I did|
||
|||portsnap fetch|
||
|and then

portsnap exctract


then I did a crontab script to update ports every night

0 3 * * * /usr/sbin/portsnap -I cron update && pkg_version -vIL=


Now after a few weeks pkg_version is reporting me a lot of ports which 
needs updating

wget-1.14                           <   needs updating (index has 1.14_2)

if I use  portmaster to upgrade my ports collection it is telling me all 
packages are up to date...
so there is something not working

for example

py27-sqlite3-2.7.3_3                <   needs updating (index has 2.7.5_3)

but if I go into

/usr/ports/lang/python27

and I look in Makefile, it reports

PORTNAME=       python27
PORTVERSION=    2.7.3
PORTREVISION=   6


while it should be

PORTNAME=       python27
PORTVERSION=    2.7.5
PORTREVISION=   3


Looks like the ports database is updated but the ports tree it is not...

anyone could give me a hint on why this may happen ?

I actually am unable to update my ports collection.

thank you very much

Rick
