Re: poudriere gives [ERROR] Unhandled error! lately

Hi all,

after starting with poudriere from scratch I found that the poudriere 
default seems to be working (but being slow).

Then I tried some switches and found the `PACKAGE_FETCH_BRANCH` (aka -b 
...) switch the culprit.


Setting it to PACKAGE_FETCH_BRANCH=latest breaks the build, commenting 
out works.
