Now I'm having problems. When I tested the mpkg, I got "Please try again
later" after the install started. After some investigation, none of the
other ports had anything in their work directory, let alone pkg files!
Re-making the mpkg tells me that everything is up-to-date. What's going on?

The "destroot" target has a bug when the port has already been installed...

Basically it thinks "since the port is installed, I don't have to destroot". And since the destroot is usually cleared out after installing, it is empty.

The workaround is either forcing the destroot target, or uninstall the port ? It's definitely a bug, it should destroot or unarchive even if it's installed.

PS. If you run into this a lot, disabling "autoclean" or using a chroot
    or dedicated machine to build the packages is probably a good idea.
