Hi,
after installing FreeBSD 10.1 from downloaded DVD image, I wanted to
update my local portstree, but ...

Today, running "portsnap fetch" fails unexpectedly.

Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 7 mirrors found.

Retrying this command leads to another error message:

#portsnap fetch

I have to remove all contents from /var/db/portsnap to be able to
repeat "portsnap fetch", as this command seems to lack a "--force" option.
