>Description:
After today's fresh cvsup of ports tree, portupgrade -R gnome2-2.2.2_1 fails with the following error:
# portupgrade -R gnome2-2.2.2_1
** The port directory for 'x11-wm/metacity-setup' does not exist.
--->  Skipping 'x11/gnome2' (gnome2-2.2.2_1) because 'x11-wm/metacity-setup' (metacity-setup-0.7.1_2) failed
** The following packages were not installed or upgraded (*:skipped / !:failed)
        ! x11-wm/metacity-setup (metacity-setup-0.7.1_2)        (port directory error)
        * x11/gnome2 (gnome2-2.2.2_1)
#

>How-To-Repeat:
Cvsup ports treee
Run: portupgrade -R gnome2-2.2.2_1
Operation fails as above

>Fix:

Not sure, but I'd note that I *did* try running pkgdb -Fv in order to fix the reported change in dir structure, but this has not helped.
