That's true as long as the INDEX file is in synch with the ports tree,
which is not guaranteed. For portmaster purposes you're better off
with portmaster -L. See the man page for a handy alias suggestion to
strip down the output to just what needs updating.

Yes, I figured that. :)

Ok, I'm not sure what to tell you about this one, I'll need more
information. Please do the following:

1. Make sure you are using portmaster version 2.11
2. Add -x to the end of the shebang line in /usr/local/sbin/portmaster
3. Do 'script pm.log'
4. In the script session, do: portmaster -HDv php5-mcrypt

Then send me the pm.log, it will be quite long so I wouldn't bother
posting it.
