This sounds suspicously like you're mixing base and packages releases in
some sort of unsupported combination.  A wild guess -- trying to upgrade
the packages not to 5.0, but rather packages matching a snapshot, perhaps?

Once again, do not attempt to install packages built on and intende for
-current on a system running -stable.

Please go back and check what you did leading up to those errors.  This
sounds like the result of some fairly basic mistake, like trying to
install -current packages on -stable.
