Upgraded from 13.x release to 14.4 and now I can't use the ports tree?

Hi,


I've just gone through the upgrade procedure described here:


https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/


and updated to 14.4 from 13.5 (I think was the latest release version?), 
uname output: 14.4-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC amd64


When I try to build ports now, this is what I keep getting:


===>>> Creating a backup package for old version portmaster-3.35
Creating package for portmaster-3.35
pkg-static: file '/usr/local/share/licenses/portmaster-3.35/BSD2CLAUSE'

For some reason I'm unable to use either portmaster or even the standard 
'make' command under any of the ports eg:


:/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster # make deinstall; make install clean

There's a mismatch somewhere but what's going on?


Do I need to update the ports tree? It seems there is no more "portsnap" 
command so should I clean out /usr/ports completely then use the git 
version described here:


https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/ports/


I guess this would be needed: # git clone --depth 1 
https://git.FreeBSD.org/ports.git /usr/ports ?
