Portmaster is into a continuous loop

Hi there,

Today I will update my ports. I use portsnap for the new tree. Then I use portmaster -a, and Portmaster started into a continuous loop:
Code: 
	===>>> The devel/py-setuptools port moved to devel/py-distribute
	===>>> Reason: Replaced with distribute


	===>>> The devel/py-distribute port moved to devel/py-setuptools
	===>>> Reason: Replaced with setuptools


	===>>> The devel/py-setuptools port moved to devel/py-distribute
	===>>> Reason: Replaced with distribute

After five minutes I kill this loop.

What can I do here?

I use FreeBSD 9.2-p1 AMD.

Regards
 
Have you checked the UPDATING file ( pkg updating py- | less)? It has at least one reference to one of these replaced ports, as well as instructions for updating.
 
@johnblue: I work with Portmaster.

@Juanitou: Yes, I read and followed UPDATING. After that, I started portmaster -a with the error in my first posting.

The same happened to me. I always read /usr/ports/UPDATING before running portmaster -aD. The following appeared a few days ago, but I didn't think it applied to me because I didn't have devel/py-distribute installed.
Code: 
20131127:
  AFFECTS: users of devel/py-distribute (i.e you)
  AUTHOR: wg@FreeBSD.org

  devel/py-distribute was replaced with devel/py-setuptools. Please do
  the following according to package manager used. py-distribute port
  will be removed shortly.

  # portmaster -o devel/py-setuptools devel/py-distribute
    or
  # portupgrade -fo devel/py-setuptools devel/py-distribute
    or
  # pkg set -o devel/py-distribute:devel/py-setuptools
  # pkg install -f devel/py-setuptools
It turns out that when they wrote "(i.e. you)", they meant me. I ran portmaster -o devel/py-setuptools devel/pydistribute as suggested. Afterwards, portmaster -aD ran with no problems.
 
I just ran make deinstall reinstall clean from /usr/ports/devel/py-setuptools and reran portmaster -a without any issue.
