portmaster -af fails due to dead port - HELP

[William F. Dudley Jr.]

So, this happened:

prompt> portmaster -af -x arj -x faad2 -x libutempter -x ruby -x tcl

(lots of output deleted)

===>>> Returning to update check of installed ports

         ===>>> No origin available for tcl~pkg-renamed~9E62-8.4.19_3,1


===>>> Cannot continue
===>>> Aborting update

SO I try to delete the package.
I'd already tried "pkg delete tcl" and gotten "Package(s) not found!", 
so now this:

prompt> pkg delete tcl~pkg-renamed~9E62-8.4.19_3,1
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
Package(s) not found!

So portmaster is complaining about tcl, but tcl isn't installed, and -x 
doesn't work either.

How do I get past this monster?

Thanks,
Bill Dudley
