However, pkg_version has the -I option which does the following: -I Use only the index file for determining if a package is out of date. This is much faster than using the version number from a port's Makefile, at the expense of potentially giving an incor- rect result if the index file is out of date. at least on my rather recent 6-STABLE :-) When I run pkg_version -vIL= i get the response that one would expect. Are you sure you are running a recent version of the application? Can you share some details with us to see what the problem might be? Thanks!
