portmaster says clutter is already installed, but as I am running
portmaster to update all ports, most packages are indeed already there.
just need to pack a backup and install a new version ...

how can I make portmaster run till all is updated ?

I use portmaster as:

portmaster -afRd

Andriy already answered your question about what's happening with
clutter, so I'll just use this as an opportunity to re-state that -af is
rarely a good idea. If you truly want to reinstall everything, there is
a recommended procedure for that in the portmaster man page.

thanks first of all.

I think my problem was this:

I did a portmaster --check-depends

and now is running portmaster -ad.

thanks,
