Solved Portmaster not working for multiple ports in category/portname format

S

I customarily use portmaster in the following way:

Code: 
# portmaster x11/dmenu/ x11/dzen2/
I last updated several ports three days ago, but as of today specifying multiple ports in that way causes portmaster to fail silently. If I specify only one of those ports at a time, it works. It also works correctly to specify multiple ports without using category names. Here is relevant output:

Code:

I updated portmaster but the problem remains.

In the first code block, portmaster erroneously enumerates 1/2 then 2/1,
whereas in the second code block the enumeration is correct as 1/2 then 2/2.
 
Interestingly enough, the trailing slashes are indeed the problem. I've always filled in the directory names via a tab completion that has put in the trailing slashes, and this has not been a problem for me ever in the past.

P.S. I filed a bug https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196584 and the maintainer said regarding the trailing slashes "Don't do that, it's not a valid syntax. Many tools will fail with a trailing slash for port origin." Duly noted.
