"portmanager -s" deletes ports?

[Heinrich Rebehn]

Hi list,

i use

#  portmanager -s|grep OLD | sort -t: -k2

occasionally to see which ports need upgrading. Ports tree is cvsup'ed 
each night.

Today the above command seemed to take forever and also gave an error 
message:

MGPMrTimer timeout started signal -=>14

When i hit ^C i got:

^Croot at antsrv1 [~] # pkg_delete: unexec command for 'rm -f 
/usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz /usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1 
/usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz /usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz.gz 
/usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz.bz2' failed
pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is
incorrectly specified?)

I then noticed that almost *all* X11 manpages had been deleted. :-(

The portmanager manpage reads:

      o   -s or --status
           status of installed ports

My Question: how is it possible that this command *deletes* any ports?
I am aware that there have been big changes to X11 recently, but 
nevertheless, something like this should not happen.

Or is there anything that i have missed?

Kind regards,

--
