portupgrade --- 2.1.3 instead of 2.2.2 --- even though I had usedn
portsnap.

BINGO!!! I was installing sysutils/portupgrade.
I knew that portupgrade was in sysutils, so I went straight to it and
used it...
It didn't occur to me that there might be ANOTHER sysutils somewhere

But there was, and the one in ports-mgmt had been updated by
portsnap, so when I installed in THERE...
