Hi all
I have been enjoying the use of bpm for some time now as my way of
navigating the ports collection on FreeBSD.
For some reason today it crashed with a core dump about 3/4 of the way
through updating its' database when I first ran it. This happened several
times in a row, even after a reboot, so I suspected the ports database may
have got corrupted and did a 'pkgdb -F' and a 'cd /usr/ports/; make
fetchindex' but still no joy with bpm. I have not made any changes to the
system recently and I'm on AMD64 FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p7 #2
Does anyone have any ideas that would help get it running again? Maybe it
has a database somewhere that can be renovated. Alternatively, are there
any other ports that offer a GUI interface for working with ports?
Many thanks
Michael
