Thank you! Now, while working towards replacing portupgrade with 
portmaster in my daily system maintenance I encountered a couple of 
other issues:

% portmaster -aiv
===>>> Starting check of installed ports for available updates
grep: /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db/+CONTENTS: Not a directory
===>>> Checking installed port: birda-1.3
===>>> Checking installed port: ca-roots-1.1
===>>> Checking installed port: cabextract-1.1
===>>> Checking installed port: cscope-15.5_1
===>>> Checking installed port: cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_2
===>>> Checking installed port: freebsd-update-1.6_2
===>>> Checking installed port: hcidump-1.5.1
===>>> Checking installed port: iftop-0.16_1
===>>> Checking installed port: iwi-firmware-2.4_2
===>>> Checking installed port: last.fm-player-1.0.3

===>>> This port has been deleted:
===>>> Aborting update

The first grep error comes from portupgrade, which creates a pkgdb.db 
file in that directory. Can portmaster be smart enough to skip that, or 
even better, not consider regular files (i.e. not directories) at all?

The seconf error comes from my installation of a package that does not 
come from a port (last.fm-player-1.0.3). I installed it directly from 
the vendor's site (http://last.fm). Can portmaster not error when 
encountering such packages, but rather just produce a warning?

Thanks,

Panagiotis
