I have seen this too.  In fact, I think I ran into it the last
time I updated the ports on some of my systems.  I annoyed me
enough that I kept trying things until it went away, but to be
honest I don't remember what exactly I did that cured it.

In my case, it was happening on something that I had always
upgraded via ports & portupgrade.  It was not bsdpan (which I do
not even have installed...), but I do not remember what it was.
