A while back I aborted a recursive update (bad idea, I know now)

Well not always, but apparently it was this time. :)

and
must have messed up something in whatever info portmaster uses to decide
whether to re-install a port. Now, whenever I use portmaster -a, it
re-installs py26-imaging, py26-reportlab and py26-xml.

Every time.

Correction: every time any other port is upgraded. If all ports are
reported as up to date, the three python ports are not re-installed.
But if any port is upgraded, the re-install occurs, even if the upgraded
port has no dependency relationship with any of the three python ports.

Well that's just wacky. Sorry to hear that you're having this kind of problem. I suggest the following:

1. pkg_delete -f the 3 affected ports
2. Run 'portmaster --check-depends' If it tells you that there are dependencies listed for those 3 ports, but there is no installed version, make note of the port(s) that trigger this message then say yes to the "delete the dependency data" prompt 4. Run 'portmaster --check-depends' again to make sure everything is fixed now. 5. Run 'portmaster list-of-ports-from-number-2' Make sure you upgrade them all at once just to be safe.

Then you should be fine, let me know if that works for you. If it doesn't I can give you some suggestions for more advanced debugging.
