Hello,

I have installed FREEBSD 5.3 some days ago , and while i was reading the 
handbook , i followed some instructions of it , and did the following things:

installed CVSup to update my port collection , and then
created a db of the ports with pkgdb -F command.

scaned my ports with portaudit and got 11 results,for various packages.

I decided to update these packages with portupdate.

i typed : su-2.05b# portupgrade kdegraphics-3.3.0 -r
And i got :
Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait..

i Was waiting and waiting and waiting,but in vain.after 1 hour,nothing.
I run bsd on a P3550,128mb ram,hdd 20gb.

i decided to ctrl+c the procedure,and got this output :
^Cfailed to generate INDEX!
index generation error
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/portsdb.rb:482:in `open_db': database file 
error (PortsDB::DBError)
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/portsdb.rb:634:in `port'

        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkgdb.rb:915:in `tsort_build'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkgdb.rb:907:in `each'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkgdb.rb:907:in `tsort_build'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkgdb.rb:929:in `sort_build'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkgdb.rb:933:in `sort_build!'
        from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:674:in `main'
        from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:207:in `initialize'
        from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:207:in `new'
        from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:207:in `main'
        from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:1845

So , it is logical to wait THAT long for the INDEX.TMP file to be created or 
it isn't my fault?..Waiting for your reply

Thanks in advance,
George
