Howdy freebsd-questions - almost every day I run a portupgrade --batch

days ago I noticed that portupgrade itself was updated and that subsequent
packages had troubles updating.
Here's a sample for a portupgrade --batch -rav run:

It appears as if the deinstall fails for some (at least to me) unknown
reason. p5-Set-IntSpan was not updated and we end up with lots of stale
dependencies that need to be fixed via pkgdb -F. If I manually do a make
deinstall reinstall in the port-directory then the deinstall does not have
any issues.
Does anybody know where I should be looking for a solution to the
(undefined method `nil' for :String) problem?
Thanks - Tobias
Just in case somebody faces the same issue. I used portdowngrade to revert
portupgrade back to version 2.4.6_4 and then things worked as before.
Thanks - Tobias
