portmaster -L

I was trying to upgrade my ports (because of firefox issues), and got stuck at ffmpeg, which in turn prevents a bunch of other ports to be upgraded.

Comment 1 fossette 2015-10-09 05:53:39 UTC 
After reading about similar problems with other ports on the FreeBSD Forums, I checked my system for the same pattern, and got the problem solved.  So, I'll switch this bug report state to closed, but I have no idea how it came about, nor how to reproduce it.

In a similar problem post, one user mentioned having encountered a similar problem when perl wasn't up to date.  But as listed in my portmaster list, my version of perl is right.  Another user asked for some installation log file (sorry, I don't recall the name).  The one I found had a line saying the /usr/local/bin/perl was missing.  Wtf?

To fix this mess, I ran (in the /usr/ports/lang/perl5.20/ directory):
# portsnap fetch update    (just to be sure)
# make deinstall
# make install clean

I was then able to built the other ports successfully, multimedia/ffmpeg etc...

Yes. That's because the current state of Perl [on FreeBSD] is a
bit of a disaster. I believe there is some mention of it in UPDATING.
But it is not yet completely cleaned up/cured.
