What happens if you run as root

# portmanager x11/xterm -l

?
What version of portmanager are you using?

# portmanager -v

0.4.1_9, it happens the same thing running it under root.  I'll try to 
reinstalling it tomorrow and see what happens.

It makes no difference at all.  I get the same kind of errors. Do you know if 
portmaster is less buggy than portupgrade?

I am assuming you have the latest version of portmanager and an updated
ports tree. Try just running portmanager in a generic fashion; i.e.:

portmanager -u -l -p -y

See if that corrects the problem. Also, can you run it as root rather
than using sudo? I have no idea if that would make any difference;
however, I never use sudo when running portmanager myself.

Also, you probably have portsclean installed. Clean out
your /usr/ports/distfiles directory and then run:

portsclean -CLP

Prior to running portmanger. It cannot hurt and it might fix something.

You might also consider doing a deinstall/reinstall of portmanger if
you feel the program might have gotten damaged.
