I'm sorry to hear that, it was still working well for me.

Does anyone know what portupgrade is like these days? when I stopped
using it it seemed to be getting a bit flakey.

On the whole I'd rather not use portmaster because the last time I
checked it terminates on the first error rather than when it has no
more it can do. This makes it very inefficient when there are build
errors.
