A script session with portupgrade is posted at http://math.ucsd.edu/~neldredg/script-200810051055 (too large to attach). Note, at line 53711, that textproc/rarian was skipped due to the ostensible failure of libxslt. However, just before this we see that libxslt in fact installed successfully. If portupgrade is run a second time, rarian will upgrade successfully. >How-To-Repeat: It is a bit awkward because it requires that you have ports that are out of date, and once you run portupgrade, they are no longer out of date. I tried to put together an easy testcase, but did not succeed. But hopefully there is enough information here to let someone else make one. >Fix: As a workaround, you can just run portupgrade -a repeatedly until no more packages are skipped, but this is a pain. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
