AFAICR, portupgrade is written in Ruby, so strange things can happen
if you pull the carpet out from under it like that. Not really your
fault...
I suggest you look at the man page for pkg_glob, and look for the kind
of glob to supply for portupgrade; for example:
The following command line arguments are supported:
pkgname_glob Specify one of these: a full pkgname, a pkgname wi=
th-
out version, or a shell glob pattern to match agai=
nst
pkgnames or their origins in which you can use wil=
d-
cards `*', `?', and `[..]', an extended regular
expression preceded by a colon `:' to match agains=
t
pkgnames or their origins, or a date range specifi=
ca-
tion preceded by either `<' or `>'.
So try
[chris@amnesiac]~% sudo portupgrade -f '<2010-06-22'
That should reinstall all the ports that were installed before yesterday.
