The correct answer to this problem is to update the affected
ports.
That certainly is the correct mid- and long-term solution to
any given occurence.
It still leaves the port broken from the disappearance of the
previous distfile until the maintainer has time to update the
port. That is likely to be a not-insignificant length of time,
because we cannot reasonably expect port maintainers -- who are
usually volunteers -- to drop everything in order to immediately
fix this sort of problem.
It never ceases to amaze me how quick non-maintainers are to volunteer
maintainters time to drop everything and rebuild a port.
