List...

FreeBSD chthonixia 14.3-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE-p6 CHTHONIXIA amd64

Today, I attempted to run portmaster -a which fell over with this error:

===>>> The x11-fonts/gentium-basic port has been deleted:
Has expired: Superceeded by Gentium-7.000 https://software.sil.org/gentium/download/
===>>> Aborting update

I can't deinstall it, because it's deleted; 'pkg delete' fails; and reinstalling
gentium/ in ports failed to remedy the issue.

Has anyone seen this? Or is it 'just me'? I'm not sure who the maintainer was
(port deleted so duh), so haven't asked either of the two possible people...
and so am checking here.

To be clear: I can't run portmaster -a past "x11-fonts/gentium-basic" but portmaster
by individual port works...and no idea what is after x11-fonts/gentium-basic.

I don't see any flags to portmaster to 'keep going ignore errors'; and no bug 
reports so it's probably just me.

Thanks,

Joe A.
