I don't understand why people try to "reboot" to fix problems, if it
does not work now it will probably not after a reboot :-). Anyway, the
problem seems to be located in portupgrade.

I would encourage you to switch to ports-mgmt/portmaster as
portupgrade is being less popular and less supported now.

Cheers,
