Assuming that you're now tracking RELENG_7, and assuming that you
installed the new kernel and world, did you clean out all the old
libraries and includes from before the branch?

This isn't really relevant to your question, but I'd like to point out
that I think people are using the -u flag a lot more than they really need
to. Under normal circumstances once you're past the 'make config' stage
and the ports start actually compiling there won't be any interaction
required. In fact, now that the OPTIONS framework is fixed if you already
have options files for the ports you have installed, and those options
haven't changed, you won't even get those screens to deal with.

What happens if you just run 'pkg_create -b <portname from /var/db/pkg>'?
I strongly suspect that this is a problem with your pkg_create binary,
since that's all portmaster is doing in that spot. If the pkg_create
command failed then you would see an error message and portmaster would
exit.
