see, i don't know. from time to time, weird things like this just
HAPPEN. sometimes portsdb -fUu, pkgdb -f, etc. will resolve the problem.
i've never resolved it by hosing and reupdating the tree.

not at all. it was just the easiest place to tell you to cvsup from. do
you normally cvsup from /usr/share/examples/cvsup? if so, you should
consider copying the supfile elsewhere and editing it, otherwise when
you installworld you'll overwrite the changes you've made.
