In the recent gettext version bump, I did "portmaster -fRD -r gettext" (or something very similar) and had many instances of failure and restart with ports that were already installed and not as a result of the 'clutter' issue. I only had to cd to the port directory, 'make deinstall && make reinstall' and restart portmaster. Also, the -R often seemed to not work and I'd get the full list again. This made the process take a VERY long time. There have been a LOT of revisions to portmaster since the gettext bump, so this may be already addresses, but it was rather painful, especially on my rather slow laptop. -- R.
