Not sure is this is a bug with portmaster, with the ports tree, or with my 
system's setup, but I'm having a hell of a time with openssl-stable.

/etc/make.conf includes WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes and WITH_OPENSSL_STABLE=yes.  
openssl-stable-0.9.7i is installed.

Doing a "portupgrade openssl-stable" results in nothing happening.

Doing a "portmaster openssl-stable" results in it building the 
openssl-stable port, then erroring out on the install with "This port is 
already installed, run make re-install if you want to reinstall it" 
errors.

And it will continue to ask me over and over (as a dependency of other 
ports) if I want to upgrade openssl-stable, when there's nothing for it 
to do.  If I run portmaster without the -i, it will error out almost 
right away as it tries to erroneously build and install openssl-stable as 
a dependency.

I downloaded portmaster after today's e-mail, where you forgot to include 
the URL, so it should be the latest version.
