old automake removal

Recently I did my usual ports upgrade by using portsnap . The "pkg_version" program shows that "automake-1.9" and "automake-1.10" and no longer current, but for some reason the message "comparison failed" shows up when I check the ports versions. I've tried "pkgdb -u" to update the database, but
