I should clarify: I did run 'pkg delete gentium-basic` and it failed to find the package;
I also installed and reinstalled the gentium port...it did not remedy the issue with

As a desktop user, I generally don't touch config files and tend to stick
to defaults - so if portmaster is "...configured to build 'gentium-basic'"
then I have no clue why.

derived from that.

Thank you for your followup and maintainership, and best regards,
