This looks more a case for the Maintainer of the GrantleeTheme than for
current@

 ... maybe. OTOH, the instances I found mentioned on the 'net are all
about different packages:

eg:
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/pkg-upgrade-fail-to-create-temporary-file.67923/
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237767

I feel there's something different at work here than just one
maintainer's oversight.

You may well be correct. On the surface, to me it looked like a port problem so I thought

you might get quicker results via it's maintainer. :-)

Good luck! :-)

Thx
Michael
