Corrections to: unable to upgrade to mysql55-server

[Gene]

Running 8.1 amd64. Ports are up to date (via portsnap). 

 I've been trying to install the port databases/mysql55-server, updating from 
the older  5.4 version. mysql55-client installed just fine. However, when I 
"make" the '-server' port I get the errors shown in the first listing below. 
So I tried 
 "portmanager databases/mysql55-server -l -u"  
    (latest version of portmanager - 0.4.1_9). 

 Attempts to update produce multiple looping errors as in the second listing 
 below. I've found references to this error, but the latest version of 
 portmanager (I thought) was supposed to fix this (or did it just eliminate 
 infinite loops?). Note that I have attempted to compile some of the 
"looping" ports individually and they compile and install with no problems.

 Does anyone have an idea what might be going on here? 

 Thanks in advance...
