Message:
I'm trying to upgrade my ports, but I keep getting an error message.
My ports were last updated July 2nd, 2007 and all installed ports were
at their current versions then.  I've updated my ports tree with cvs
and remade INDEX the day before yesterday.  Now I'm following
instructions in UPDATING to upgrade ports that have special
instructions.  This is the error message I get:

# portupgrade -f 'autoconf*'
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
