I don't know about never - I think I managed to get it into a dependency loop once - but I've never had any issues that I could not resolve or that would entice me to look at an alternative. >(But portupgrade could at times be an utter mess, >I never looked back after switching to portmaster >many years ago.) Likewise, portupgrade would explode and shower my system with bits of corrupt database to often for comfort. At least part of that was caused by portupgrade depending on quite a few other ports and getting confused when it updated things whilst it was using them. >And I'm not at all interested in running poudriere >or synth, thank you.
