For example, the mentioned problem with pf, I first thougt it was a misconfiguration problem that fetch didn't use passive ftp, in which case this was the right forum. Then by accident I discovered that reloading the ruleset solved the problem. Rebooting, I would have the problem again until a new reload of the ruleset. I then tried at home to repeat on a different machine which had been updated almost at the same time but without luck. So, I there may be some error in updating or that very snap I got. In any case I need to investigate that more. And the other error, I have now tried and found that it appears only in Eterm, not in xterm or on the console. It may have been introduced as the ports version is now 0.9.3_4.
