So instead, on Saturday Dec. 13 I edited MOVED to remove both google-fonts and gentium-basic; which allowed portmaster to move past the error and complete the list of ports to upgrade. So far, so good. Now, it's Tuesday Dec. 16 2025; and the same error occurs - portmaster fails at the same point. Editing MOVED to remove gentium resolves the error. Any ideas about what might be happening? Maybe edit some other file containing gentium-basic? Regards, Joe A.
