I've been having a problem reinstalling multimedia/2mandvd with
portupgrade for a while now. The build succeeds, but I get an odd error
when portupgrade tries to uninstall the old version before it installs
the new version.

I don't see any issues if I do a manual deinstallation using "pkg
delete", and then reinstalling the port works fine.
# pkg delete 2ManDVD-1.8.5

I don't know where the "invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII" error is
coming from.
