I just used portmaster -L to update my ports and built each with portmaster
and no problem.  I am up to date, for now.  I still have the qt3 error and
there is no qt3 on this machine.  I like portmaster and don't really want
to change and I am not a package fan due issues from years back.   I would
still like to know  what I might have done to cause this problem and if a
fix is possible.

thanks,
