CGatePro is only examined AFTER that point. It does not appear in the list before the "Proceed? y/n" question. In this case, since it is a package and not a port, why does portmaster look at it at all? There is no useful information available about whether it can be upgraded (I'm not running with -P). I don't really want to have to put IGNOREME in that package... I only did that to try and make portmaster ignore something it should already be ignoring. Perhaps your improvements to ORIGIN handling will also deal with this. Thank you for a great tool.
