I think this is because ruby-1.6 used to install /usr/local/bin/ruby, but by
the recent upgrade this becomes /usr/local/bin/ruby16 and ruby is not there
anymore. Since portupgrade needs ruby, portupgrade gets stuck as soon as
upgrading ruby-1.6 removes the /usr/local/bin/ruby file.

I have removed portupgrade and all related ruby stuff and then reinstalled
portupgrade, which then installs ruby-1.8. All works well then.
