Well I'm not the OP, but I just experienced something very similar. This
arose when I was trying to deal with the combining of ports
print/amspsfnt and print/cmpsfont into print/font-amsfonts. As you can
see below, I had no problem upgrading print/amspsfnt, but the "DISTDIR
cannot be empty" error prevented doing the same for print/cmpsfont.
Although I admit to not showing some commands where I was hunting around
in the man page and looking at the portmaster script, I'm not aware of
doing anything significant other than what you see below, unless perhaps
I switched between one 'screen' window to another (ie. different shell
process). It doesn't make sense to me, but as you can see it worked
after querying the value of DISTDIR.
