Description TJ 2014-02-12 18:00:02 UTC 
After going back and forth with the author of www/newsbeuter, we concluded that a recent breakage was mostly likely due to the (lib)curl 7.34.0 update in ports.

The problem was that the application no longer loaded any RSS feeds... which is all it's supposed to do!

[2014-02-11 09:32:18] USERERROR: Error while retrieving http://blogs.freebsdish.org/portmgr/feed/: Timeout was reached
[2014-02-11 09:32:19] ERROR: rsspp::parser::parse_url: curl_easy_perform returned err 28: Timeout was reached

It's confirmed to still be working with 7.33.0 from the pkgng archive.

Fix: 

Rollback curl version or investigate further.
The port maintainer didn't respond to direct email.
How-To-Repeat: (with 7.33.0) "curl http://blogs.freebsdish.org/portmgr/feed/" - works
(with 7.34.0) "curl http://blogs.freebsdish.org/portmgr/feed/" - times out
