While you are at it, you might want to give "portmanager" a spin. While it can be a bit of a monster when used with the "-p" flag, I have found it capable of fixing problems and building ports that portupgrade and potmaster both choked on. As always, read the documentation thoroughly first. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
