Have you updated your ports tree? These have already been applied:

Granted it was only yesterday though...
Thank you for your efforts, and I'm sorry they're duplicated...
If you see something like that in future, mail `make maintainer` in
the port's directory and ask if they have any plans to fix it -- often
that can save you some time!
