"/var/db/pkg/*/PM_UPGRADE_DONE_FLAG
Indicates to a subsequent -a, -f, or -r run which includes the -R
option that a port has already been rebuilt, so it can be safely
ignored if it is up to date."
Are there any of the above files left in your PKG_DBDIR (/var/db/pkg,
by default)? If so, delete them, and try again. If there aren't,
check your ports tree, build environment, local Makefiles (if any) and
PKG_DBDIR. If they're okay, then it looks like a bug in portmaster.
In that case, you'll have to provide a build transcript so that the
problem can be diagnosed. Run portmaster verbosely -- you could use
script(1) and execute portmaster via sh -x `which portmaster` ..., for
example.
