 /buildports-snowleopard-x86_64/builds/35778 Ports build 35778] (trying to
 rebuild dmapd after r136473) failed with an exception because the builder
 went offline.
 >
 > Noting that the last attempted build was for dmapd, and that all
 subsequent builds failed before trying to install anything, all the now-
 unregistered files on the Snow Leopard builder should be for dmapd's
 dependencies, so we force-installed dmapd. While this runs, we are taking
 a break and will resume later.
 >
 > When we resume, we should be able to just "sudo port deactivate active",
 then remove the .mp_* files, then, assuming we see no other unregistered
 files, turn the buildslave on again.

 This failed because we had used a working copy of dports that was current
 at the time of our attempt on October 15. I backdated the working copy to
 r136473 to match the last failed build. I then force-installed dmapd, and
 when that succeeded but still didn't seem to eliminate all the
 unregistered files, I force-installed rdepof:dmapd as well, to also
 install the build dependencies that hadn't been installed before. After
 deactivating all ports and deleting the .mp_* files, this seemed to leave
 a fairly clean prefix, so I re-enabled the builders.

 The base builder didn't have much to do and was quickly done, finding a
 build problem which I reported in #49753. The ports builder is working
 through the forced builds and committed revisions from October 15 onward.
 This will probably take days to complete. Once it does, I'll start a build
 for all ports, in order to build those ports changed between May 18 and
 October 15, and also to reupload any older binary packages that were
 inadvertently purged from the packages server some weeks ago.
