Accordign to my experience with "portsdb -uU" it's exactly this use of refuse files to avoid the foreign ports which can cause a lot of warning messages during the "portsdb -uU" run. There are a lot of ports which have dependencies in e.g. chinese, japanese or korean language support, which reside in the refused parts of the ports tree. But the run will continue upto a fresh database. BTW, I think I once read that ports which have dependencies in other foreign language parts of the ports tree, should be placed in those parts themselves. Isn't that today's port policy anymore?
