>Description:
              The portsdb(1) man page states:
              
                  In addition, considering that the INDEX file often gets outdated
                  because it is updated only once a week or so in the official 
                  ports tree, it is recommended that you run ``portsdb -Uu'' after
                  every CVSup of the ports tree in order to keep them always 
                  up-to-date and in sync with the ports tree.
              
              However, to my best knowledge, the index file is updated not once a 
              week, but every few hours, so the -U option of portsdb becomes
              unnecesary and costly.  Running ``make fetchindex && portsdb -u'' 
              should be enough.
>How-To-Repeat:
              man portsdb
>Fix:
              Please update the manual page.

State-Changed-Why:  
Your point is valid, but, portsdb(1) is not a part of FreeBSD. It's installed 
by a third-party utility "portupgrade", and thus this issue should be brought 
up with portupgrade authors. A good contact person would be <koma2@lovepeers.org>
