Further workaround: The problem is apparently caused by peculiar version numbers in media-fonts/ja-ipafonts Delete $PORTDIR/metadata/cache/media-fonts/ja-ipafonts* and rerun update-eix. It will complete. The metadata files will be replaced on the next sync by which time there will hopefully be an update that fixes the underlying problem. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
