One of the reason for missing packages is that occasionally there is a problem which leads to incomplete activation of the port and leaves most files of a port present on the buildbot, but doesn't mark the port as active. Whenever the buildbot tries to build *any* package that depends on that port, it fails to do so. The buildbot gets fixed after a while (sometimes it takes a day or two), but unless someone force-rebuilds all the ports that failed to build in the meantime, all those files will be missing. Of course there might be other sources of problems, but this one is the most obvious one. And it would be really great if we implemented means for a *proper* cleanup.
