Hi, Mike.

The version of portmanager I was using when I experienced the problem
was definitely 0.3.3_2; I verified the version when I saw it was
misbehaving.  And although this is somewhat belated, here's the uname -a
output on the affected system:

FreeBSD hobbit.emerald-associates.com 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE
#0: Wed Nov  9 04:09:55 MST 2005
root at hobbit.emerald-associates.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HOBBIT  i386

After portmanager failed to work properly with cvs2svn, I did not
attempt to use it to delete any other ports, so cvs2svn is the only case
I know wasn't working.  I used pkg_delete to delete cvs2svn instead, so
I can not verify the operation of the updated portmanager by using it to
delete that port.  However, I just upgraded to the latest version of
portmanager (0.3.4) and tested it against a different package and it
worked properly.  Unless you receive other problem reports, I'd call the
issue resolved.

Thanks for the speedy response.
