It sounds a good idea theoretically to stick with one package manager & I seriously considered it .
But because I mainly use Portupgrade I decided to give it another go without adjusting anything after running both Portmanager & portmaster as I explained earlier, -which upgraded pkgs portupgrade complained about.
& now all the pkgs that were left over which master & manager didn't do are now been upgraded by portupgrade & all the problems listed above with the errors are fixed & this is the method I have been using for a while now.
I have added my make.conf to show if anything is unusual,
as its alot different to using Gentoo it seems.
As I read that using portmaster properly may mean changing your make.conf to get proper value from it etc.
I am hoping to stick with one Manager as I keep picking up more tips along the way.
My "make.conf"
# Disable VuXML checks, vulnerable ports are marked FORBIDDEN anyway and
# this prevents installing with non-vulnerable options (see win32-codecs)
DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes
# Compile with cups support
WITH_CUPS=yes
# Makes cups shadow printing support in the base system
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes
# Use Firefox's gecko engine since it's preinstalled
WITH_MOZILLA=firefox
WITH_GECKO=firefox
Thanks All
