No, I was trying to upgradr from 1.40.12 to 1.40.13

I used "portsnap fetch update", and I saw the new version 1.40.13

Perhaps I could use "portmaster -B misc/help2man" to prevent creating another backup.

Maybe my installation of 1.40.12 was corrupted, or maybe it was a matter of not having NLS option for 1.40.12

This raises the question of how one rebuilds and reinstalls a corrupted port installation when backing up would not be desired.
