It was caused by some local port with dependency on port which no longer 
exists so i fixed this port and bulk build went fine.

But the question remains - how can I find which port causes this error? 
I tried to remove ports from list until bulk went fine but it is really 
slow and painful way if you are building 1500 ports for desktop machines.

Why poudriere does not print name of the port with error?
