I know this was reported the other day; however, I have just encountered

'portmanager' to issue this error message:

undefined method `x11base' for nil:NilClass

It doesn't appear to be fatal, although I have not allowed it to run to
completion. Renaming the 'pkgtools.conf' file alleviates the problem.
Perhaps someone might have a suggestion.
I have a simple patch that turns the ruby support off, which is good enough
for me as I've alway disliked the feature. I'm not going to submit a PR as
someone may be using the pkgtools.conf support. The real solution is to patch
the ruby file pkgtools-to-portmanager.rb. If anyone wants this done, but
doesn't know ruby, the email address of the original author (which is not the
portmanager author) is in the ruby file.
My patch file is below.

I assume ruby follows the same conventions as many other procedural
languages ( 0 is false, non-0 is true). If so, why are you preventing
the lines below if( 0 ) from running in your patch given above? Might as
well comment out or delete the following lines because they won't be
evaluated and run..
