Some ports won't update

I haven't updated my ports on my server for about 6 or 7 months and when it had finished updating the ports there were some that it wouldn't update. Here is what is said at the end of running:
Code: 
pormanager -u

Am I doing something wrong here?
 
Yes. You're updating ports every 6/7 months in one go without applying the information in /usr/ports/UPDATING. Either update much more frequently or just deinstall all ports, and then reinstall the root and leaf ports, and always read /usr/ports/UPDATING.
 
I have managed to get all my ports to update except one. It keeps saying:
Code: 
skipping p5-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.56_1 /devel/p5-ExtUtils-MakeMaker marked IGNORE reason: conflicts with another installed port

I had a look in /usr/ports/UPDATING but I couldn't find anything about this port that had chnaged. I tried uninstalling it but it said:
Code: 
alpha# make deinstall
===>  Deinstalling for devel/p5-ExtUtils-MakeMaker
===>   p5-ExtUtils-MakeMaker not installed, skipping

Yet, when I try to update the ports it keeps showing up!

The other odd thing I keep getting is this:
Code: 
alpha# pkg_version -vIL=
munin-main-1.2.6_1                  !   Comparison failed

Comparision failed?
 
You have another port which performs the same things. Since these two ports do not like each other there is a warning that you are trying to install the second one. Determine which one it is conflicting with, and deinstall that one if you don't need it.
 
I've tried uninstalling p5-ExtUtils-MakeMake but it keeps saying it isn't installed. The odd thing is when I update my ports it keeps trying to update p5-ExtUtils-MakeMake. How confusing...
 
Just run pkg_delete -f on that port and it's gone ("purged from memory"). And 'comparison failed' means the port no longer exists, or it has moved (see /usr/ports/MOVED).
 
I ran:
Code: 
pkg_delete -f p5-ExtUtils-MakeMaker
and it said:
Code: 
pkg_delete: no such package 'p5-ExtUtils-MakeMaker' installed
So I ran:
Code: 
pkg_info
But I can't see that package listed there.

This is strange...any other ideas?
 
pkg_delete(1) needs the whole name of the package, including the version number. But
Code: 
# cd /usr/ports/devel/p5-ExtUtils-MakeMaker
# make

===>  p5-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.56_1 conflicts with installed package(s): 
      p5-ExtUtils-Install-1.54_1

      They install files into the same place.
      You may want to stop build with Ctrl + C.
^C

So it's probably a conflict where p5-ExtUtils-Install is installed, but something else needs p5-ExtUtils-MakeMaker. Deinstall p5-ExtUtils-Install if nothing depends on it.
 
In the end I gave up trying to get rid of the p5-ExtUtils-MakeMak port. Then during this week I was updating all my ports (which I do more frequently now) and that port has been removed! So no more error anymore.
