I think my original reply did not go out on 8/27, so here it is:

The good news is that I removed the distfile and than ran "portmaster -D devel/gsoap", and it worked. The bad news is that I killed it before it installed, went back and deleted the distfile again and deleted devel/gsoap/work and ran just "portmaster devel/gsoap", and that also worked. I must have done something in the meantime that caused it to work. I didn't do anything with that specific port, and portmaster lists it as a "root" port, so I'm not sure what would have made a difference. I was monkeying aroung with libpng and some other ports, but didn't keep an exact record. Argh. One thing I did notice was that in the failed scenario (described in my previous message), the tmp file named /tmp/<foo>DI-FILES<bar> was incomplete, but in the run today with -D, the corresponding tmp file was much larger (48851 bytes) and had a lot more ports listed. No idea if that's significant. ~!paul -- G.
