Hi,

While trying to install git with:

portmaster -a
portmaster -D --no-confirm devel/git

This error occurs:

htmlxref.cnf doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles//texinfo/6.5.

Apparently, I need to update ports, per this "bug" report[1].

And yet, these don't fix the issue:

portmaster -af =C2=A0=C2=A0=20
portmaster --clean-distfiles-all =C2=A0=C2=A0=20
portmaster --check-port-dbdir =C2=A0=C2=A0=20
portmaster -Faf=20

# and have also tried variations on direct install, like:
portmaster -D --no-confirm print/texinfo =C2=A0=C2=A0=20


I've also tried:
portsnap update
# but it complains that I need to portsnap extract also.. And yet, I don't =
want to create voluminous storage.. and have two ports management systems i=
n use.

So, what is the system expecting to update ports for portmaster in this cas=
e?

thanks kindly,
Ben
