If it's failing on a regular upgrade I start to suspect weirdness in
your local setup since that's a dead-simple thing that would be very
hard for portmaster to get wrong. I'm also suspicious because I took a
look at the code a couple times yesterday and even using -r each port
should still be getting the full treatment, which includes upgrading
dependencies as needed.

I will however put some more time into testing it today and get back
to you.
