In the -stable forum, the issue has been discussed at an **excessive** lenght :-) The finest working solution is probably the following: 1) rm -rf the d****ed jakarta-tomcat port; 2) edit the ports checkouts file removing the few (contiguous) lines containing "jakarta-tomcat"; 3) cvsup your ports tree; 4) [lo and behold] cvsup your ports tree again ;-) It has worked for me (and for others). N.B. If you use cvs to download your repo and checkout your sources, you= should meet with no difficulties at all.
