That won't work, the man page clearly says that it has to be a port
directory or glob pattern from /var/db/pkg. The "glob pattern" bit of
that was (unfortunately) broken up till version 2.20, which I just
committed.
I'm confused. The manual actually says:
[-R] -r name/glob of port in /var/db/pkg
When I try your suggestion I get this:
# portmaster -r png-
===>>> No valid installed port, or port directory given
===>>> Try portmaster --help
And this doesn't work either:
# portmaster -r graphics/png
===>>> No valid installed port, or port directory given
===>>> Try portmaster --help
So, as you say the pkg pattern is broken, but also 'port directory' doesn't
work either unlike your suggestions above. It would be nice for both pkg and
directory patterns to be more consistently available, but in the meantime
readers of UPDATING are going to be confused.
