pkg_add: could not find package pkg-config-0.25_1 !

I just performed portsnap fetch/update/extract on my server.

After it, when trying to install a package, I'm getting the following error:

Code: 
root@vlife:/usr/ports/databases/php5-mysql# make install
===>  Installing for php5-mysql-5.4.26
===>   php5-mysql-5.4.26 depends on file: /usr/local/include/php/main/php.h - found
===>  Checking if databases/php5-mysql already installed
pkg_add: could not find package pkg-config-0.25_1 !
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/databases/php5-mysql.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/databases/php5-mysql.

Do any of you know what's wrong?

Thank you.

You statement of "portsnap fetch/update/extract" causes me to clarify:

portsnap fetch extract is used to create or replace the local ports tree in its entirety. It is typically run only one time, or whenever the local ports tree needs to be re-created.
portsnap fetch update is used to update the existing local ports tree. It is run on demand to keep the local ports tree up-to-date.
 
There's an UPDATING entry from July of 2012 relating to pkg-config:

Code: 
20120726:
  AFFECTS: users of devel/pkg-config
  AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  devel/pkg-config has been replaced by devel/pkgconf

  # portmaster -o devel/pkgconf devel/pkg-config
    or
  # portupgrade -fo devel/pkgconf pkg-config-\*

  pkgng:
  # pkg set -o devel/pkg-config:devel/pkgconf
  # pkg install -f devel/pkgconf

If you still had pkg-config installed instead of the correct devel/pkgconf your ports and packages were horribly out of date.
