Default portmaster: "Terminated" messages

I am seeing a problem with portmaster on one of my FreeBSD 6.3 workstations. Here's an example from an attempted upgrade of abiword-gnome:
Code:
# portmaster -u abiword-gnome
===>>> Gathering distinfo list for installed ports

===>>> Currently installed version: abiword-gnome-2.4.6_3
===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/editors/abiword
===>>> Launching 'make checksum' for editors/abiword in background
===>>> Gathering dependency list for editors/abiword from ports
===>>> Starting recursive 'make config' check
===>>> Launching child to update unzip-5.52_3
        abiword-gnome-2.4.6_3 >> unzip-5.52_3

===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/archivers/unzip
===>>> Launching 'make checksum' for archivers/unzip in background
===>>> Gathering dependency list for archivers/unzip from ports
===>>> No dependencies for archivers/unzip
===>>> Continuing 'make config' dependency check for editors/abiword
===>>> Launching child to update devel/goffice04
        abiword-gnome-2.4.6_3 >> devel/goffice04

===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/devel/goffice04
===>>> Launching 'make checksum' for devel/goffice04 in background
===>>> Gathering dependency list for devel/goffice04 from ports
===>>> Starting recursive 'make config' check
===>>> Launching child to update gnome-vfs-2.20.1
        abiword-gnome-2.4.6_3 >> devel/goffice04 >> gnome-vfs-2.20.1

===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/devel/gnome-vfs
===>>> Launching 'make checksum' for devel/gnome-vfs in background
===>>> Gathering dependency list for devel/gnome-vfs from ports
===>>> Starting recursive 'make config' check
===>>> Launching child to update avahi-app-0.6.22_1
        abiword-gnome-2.4.6_3 >> devel/goffice04 >> gnome-vfs-2.20.1 >> avahi-app-0.6.22_1

===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/net/avahi-app
===>>> Launching 'make checksum' for net/avahi-app in background
===>>> Gathering dependency list for net/avahi-app from ports
===>>> Starting recursive 'make config' check
Terminated
Terminated

===>>> Update for gnome-vfs-2.20.1 failed
===>>> Aborting update

===>>> Update for /usr/ports/devel/goffice04 failed
===>>> Aborting update
[ Note that I ran make checksum & make config from /usr/ports/net/avahi-app manually; both worked fine. ]

The problem does not appear to be limited to abiword-gnome. I ran into a very similar issue when attempting to upgrade gettext a few days ago, and I had to install and use portupgrade just to get it upgraded properly.

Some facts about the problem:
  • I have two FreeBSD 6.3 workstations running the same portmaster version and with similar (but not identical) application environments. Only one of the workstations is having the problem.
  • The portmaster version I'm using is the latest available in ports now - v2.5.
  • My /etc/make.conf consists only of this:
    Code:
    PERL_VER=5.8.8
    PERL_VERSION=5.8.8
  • I am not using a portmaster.rc / .portmasterrc file and I am not setting any of the portmaster-related environment variables in root's shell environment.

My friend google pointed me to this (loosely related) email thread: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/f...ch/047557.html. The most useful thing I gleaned from that was a script to test whether root's shell is allowing lots of children to spawn. (And, yes, it is. I ran the script and spawned > 100 children.)

Has anyone run into this with portmaster? Any ideas for troubleshooting further?

Hi anomie. You said you had the same problem with gettext. UPDATING recommended to rebuild all upward and downward dependencies for the latest version of gettext with portmaster because some library changed that it was dependent upon.

Did you try
portmaster -rf abiword-gnome

From /usr/ports/UPDATING:
Code:
# portmaster -r gettext\*
Did you give that a shot?

@chill: using the -rf option results in a similar problem -- it just breaks at a slightly different place.
Code:
...
...
===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/textproc/libxml2
===>>> Launching 'make checksum' for textproc/libxml2 in background
===>>> Gathering dependency list for textproc/libxml2 from ports
Terminated
Terminated

===>>> Update for gnome-vfs-2.20.1 failed
===>>> Aborting update

===>>> Update for /usr/ports/devel/goffice04 failed
===>>> Aborting update
@Weaseal: Yes, I tried the advice in /usr/ports/UPDATING for gettext. (I should have mentioned it earlier.) Same "Terminated" messages.

Thanks for the replies. I think some aspect of my portmaster 'environment' has become broken.
