I would= =20 suggest that you try the following to see if you can pin down what the=20 problem is. Run 'portsclean -C -D -L' to clean out any left over work directories and=20 obsolete libraries. Then create a script of what actually happened when portmanager ran. This w= hat=20 I do: script -ak /PATH-TO-LOG/pm-update.log portmanager -u -l That will create a log file in the path you specify. If the same problem=20 happens again, you could forward both that file and the one created by=20 portmanager to the developer.
