Can't fetch several ports (return error code 127) and seems nothing to do with these ports themselves

Yes, you're right! :-D
Because I set MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE in my /etc/make.conf in order to choose faster ftp mirrors to get tarballs. Comment it and the error goes away.

Is it that MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE shouldn't be set as long as the port uses MASTER_SITES:n and MASTER_SITES_NN fetching mechanism? Is there any way to get rid of this dilemma? Maybe "make MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE= install clean" takes effect but it would make my life messy if I use portupgrade.

Thank you very much.
