If you are building from ports, I'm not clear on why you do 'pkg update
-f', but it should not hurt.

Before running "portmaster -a", you should run "portmster -o devel/libevent
devel/libevent2".

Just looking quickly at portmaster, it appears to deal with deleted ports
and ports moved to a different location in the tree, but it does not look
to me like it handles renamed ports properly. If someone who is better at
shell scripting than I am wants to look at the code after line 1100, maybe
this could either be fixed or added.
