It shows that your system is newer then package you want to install. So look arround mirrors where is actual file/packages. It takes some time to distribute packages to all mirrors and build of packages for all platforms take some time as well. > > I don't know whether I should reinstall 5.1 and use it until 5.2 comes out > or whether I should continue and try to track -current and see if the issues > are resolved, but I am not looking forward to compiling much source given > the lack of framebuffer acceleration!

Using snapshots is fine as you are doing just binary upgrades of system and packages and it's really very easy. In your case you can try compile from ports, but set FETCH_PACKAGES=Yes in /etc/mk.conf to avoid compilation of packages which are available as binary.
