When updating ports (like databases/sqlite3 or graphics/png via
portmaster graphics/png), the installation process comes to a point
where a backup of the old port is created with bsdtar. The process hangs
then:
===>>> Starting build for graphics/png <<<===
===>>> All dependencies are up to date
===>>> Creating a backup package for old version png-1.5.12

I can circumvent by doing a make reinstall in the port's directory, but
this doesn't work for ports which copy files around using tar - like
www/firefox and mail/thunderbird (which also get stuck when bsdtar is
involved).
My operating system is
FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #0 r238860: Sat Jul 28 11:28:38 CEST 2012
buildworld and kernel from today's sources, ports seem to be up to date,
I updated everything successfully before installing the new world which
seems to be faulty.
I also recompiled usr.bin/tar separately and installed it, but without
success.
What to do?
regards,
Oliver
