I recently installed portmaster on a old/slow box to handle upgrading ports without the overheads of installing portupgrade (which I have been using elsewhere). That seemed to go fairly well so I then tried it on some of my other machines and have run into some issues.
Firstly, I have jdk-1.5.0.14p8,1 installed and this needs updating.
portmaster has decided that doing so requires java/diablo-jdk15 to be
installed - which is wrong because I already have a suitable jdk
installed. I can't find any reference to this on the mailing lists
so I suspect it's something I've done or am not doing but I can't see
what the problem is. If I do a "build-depends-list" in java/jdk15
then I get java/diablo-jdk15 so portmaster isn't being totally
unreasonable but I can't see how to resolve the problem. Relevant
output from "portmaster -v" is:

Secondly, I notice 'DEPRECATED' is treated as a fatal error. Some of
the ports I use have DEPRECATED dependencies but I don't maintain
those ports so I'm not directly responsible for resolving that.
Shouldn't there be an easier way for me to treat DEPRECATED as a
non-fatal condition than editing my ports tree?
