Can you show the last error in config.log? Mostly to document the exact
error message for posterity.

Why did portupgrade skip rebuilding print/harfbuzz-icu before building
editors/libreoffice? The dependency trees of most desktop applications
are so complex that the build falls apart if the upgrade tools aren't
robust enough e.g., ignore MOVED or PORTREVISION bumps.

In short, this is a reminder portmaster/portupgrade are NOT supported.
Users are on their own debugging such issues.
