Hi.

I ran into some problems with "portsdb -uU" since the INDEX file has
been removed from the CVS.
Sometimes it works, sometimes not. 
In my understanding, after a cvsup of the ports tree, i have to do a
"make fetchindex". Works fine. But what about a "portsd -uU"? Is this
one obsolet (but portupgrade needs the INDEX.db?)?

So the only INDEX file i have is "INDEX" if i run "portsdb -uU" i get en
Error 1. If i run just "portversion -v" after a cvsup, i get a "Updating
the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait.." after a while
also an error 1. 

So, is this just a problem "at the moment", or does it depends on the
removal of "INDEX" from the CVS tree?
