I think this following case is when there is a package cached (or created) in the ports tree, but one of its dependencies is not there.
devlin$ make ===> py-h5py-2.10.0 depends on: py-numpy-* - not found ===> Verifying install for py-numpy-* in math/py-numpy ===> Installing py-numpy-1.14.6p1 from /usr/ports/packages/sparc64/all/ Can't find blas-3.8.0p0 Can't install lapack-3.8.0p1: can't resolve blas-3.8.0p0 Can't install py-numpy-1.14.6p1: can't resolve lapack-3.8.0p1 Couldn't install blas-3.8.0p0 lapack-3.8.0p1 py-numpy-1.14.6p1 *** Error 1 in /usr/ports/math/py-numpy (/usr/ports/infrastructure/mk/bsd.port.mk:2115 '/var/db/pkg/py-numpy-1.14.6p1/+CONTENTS': @/usr/bin/...) *** Error 2 in /usr/ports/math/py-numpy (/usr/ports/infrastructure/mk/bsd.port.mk:2556 'install': @lock=py-numpy-1.14.6; export _LOCKS_HELD...) *** Error 1 in .

Yes, I use FETCH_PACKAGES. No, my /etc/installurl is not wrong, because if I then run "pkg_add -a py-numpy" it will resolve everything just fine. So this is something specific to how the ports infrastructure handles the situation. --Kurt
