Hi figodev, I've had a similar experience. Though in my case
security/w3af was removed, per
/usr/ports/MOVED:security/w3af||2020-03-31|Has expired: Uses deprecated
version of Python
So in my case the easiest way, if you build your own ports, is to
svnlite update -r '{2020-03-29}' /usr/ports/security/w3af
Note the date before removal from the ports tree.
You might consider the same action. Though over time you will need to
self-maintain...
