>Description:
See http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=18868 for description. Summary: 'portmaster -e glob\*' only seems to work when /var/db/pkg is the current working directory. If it is any other directory, it appears to expand (erroneously) in *that* directory instead of matching entries in /var/db/pkg.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Anchor the functionality of portmaster -e in /var/db/pkg/ instead of cwd.
