Hi,

my /usr/ports directory is a symlink to /space/system/usr_ports, when I
try now to update a port with portmaster, it fails when it tries to
follow dependencies.

Example:
---snip---
# portmaster webcamd-
===>>> Package installation support cannot be used with pkgng yet,
       it will be disabled


===>>> Currently installed version: webcamd-3.17.0.6
===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/multimedia/webcamd

===>>> Launching 'make checksum' for multimedia/webcamd in background
===>>> Gathering dependency list for multimedia/webcamd from ports
===>>> Launching child to install /space/system/usr_ports/devel/pkgconf

===>>> webcamd-3.17.0.6 >> /space/system/usr_ports/devel/pkgconf (1/1)

===>>> No valid installed port, or port directory given
===>>> Try portmaster --help


===>>> Update for /space/system/usr_ports/devel/pkgconf failed
===>>> Aborting update

# realpath /usr/ports/devel/pkgconf
/space/system/usr_ports/devel/pkgconf

# make -C /usr/ports -V PORTSDIR
/space/system/usr_ports

# grep PORTSDIR /etc/make.conf

---snip---

I can't find an entry in UPDATING which looks related. Any ideas what's
wrong here?

Bye,
Alexander.
