Error message with portsnap
Portsnap, which had always worked flawlessly on my FreeBSD-8.1 / amd64 machine, had suddenly started spewing out this error message(s): == Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap6.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching snapshot metadata... fetch: http://portsnap6.FreeBSD.org/t/1ad44e525a0145a9daea915d8a8827be69a292caf91f9e22aac825eed3be2e41: No address record sha256: 1ad44e525a0145a9daea915d8a8827be69a292caf91f9e22aac825eed3be2e41: No such file or directory [: !=: unexpected operator mv: rename 1ad44e525a0145a9daea915d8a8827be69a292caf91f9e22aac825eed3be2e41 to tINDEX.new: No such file or directory done. grep: tINDEX.new: No such file or directory look: tINDEX.new: No such file or directory Portsnap metadata appears bogus.

It should fix itself once the correct data for portsnap6 propagates properly.
