I missed the google-fonts entry; so I thought: 
'Oh; okay - run pkg delete google-fonts' and...no, that didn't work.

So instead, on Saturday Dec. 13 I edited MOVED to remove both google-fonts and 
gentium-basic; which allowed portmaster to move past the error and complete 
the list of ports to upgrade. So far, so good.

Now, it's Tuesday Dec. 16 2025; and the same error occurs - portmaster fails at 
the same point. Editing MOVED to remove gentium resolves the error.

Any ideas about what might be happening? Maybe edit some other file containing 
gentium-basic?

Joe A.
