I could finally solve the issue. Obvously, py38-packaging was missing.
Unfortunately, portmaster did not detect the dependency I devel/py-
packaging could not even be installed using portmaster. But a "make
install" helped. Subsequently I could upgrade the initially mentioned
ports.
I am not sure, if it is a portmaster or a whatever dependency problem.
