Version 1.9 is really old, we're up to version 1.20 now. Are you sure your
port tree is up to date?

I can't think of any reason that wouldn't work, which leads me to believe
that you've got bigger "issues" lurking somewhere.

I assume that after you reinstalled portmaster that you had version 1.20?

Before I wrote the -L feature for portmaster, I used to use 'pkg_version
-v -L=' as an alias to find out what needed rebuilding. Assuming you're
using version 1.20 of portmaster, you might want to check the man page and
try the -L option to see if portmaster can find the problem.
