Nope. With this info you can assume that step 2/3 worked. Not the step 3/3.
I dont know how to restart at the stage it was before reboot as I dont
use portupgrade.
Personnaly, as portmaster failed with some ports and abort the whole
update process, I wrote a simple sh script which loop over the packages
which need perl (got via the via pkg_info -R, need reordering
thought...), exec portmaster ${PKG}, and keep a list of which reinstall
succeed and which failed.
