Deal All, My problems surfaced when I updated Portupgrade with reference to item 20040226 in /usr/ports/UPDATING (though I suspect this is just a catalyst -- actual problem lies elsewhere) My production box is currently running on 4.9-RELEASE-p4 (this box is originally a 3.3-RELEASE -and upgraded threreon over the years). A testament to the longevity and upgrade-path of FreeBSD. Primarily running HTTP, MySQL, and postfix After updating portupgrade to use ruby1.8, portupgrade refuses to install anything! ie. "portinstall -fv editors/vim-lite" will output the following (vim-lite is not installed currently]: [1031][root@beta: ports]$ portinstall -fv editors/vim-lite ---> Session started at: Wed, 24 Mar 2004 10:31:36 +0800 ** No package has been installed or upgraded. ---> Session ended at: Wed, 24 Mar 2004 10:31:37 +0800 (consumed 00:00:00) "portupgrade -Rv <dir>/<package>" ie. upgrading a package seems to be working fine, however. It seems to only affect "portinstall" I have reinstall manually portupgrade and ruby* (using make install clean), rebuild INDEX with "portsdb -Uu" and "pkgdb -fu" or "pkgdb -F". Even went to the extent of blowing my /usr/ports and cvsup all over again. However, : 1. my /usr/ports/INDEX has the following as its first few lines: *** Error code 1||||||| Stop in /usr/ports/databases.||||||| Stop in /usr/ports.|||||| 2. portsdb -Uu reports hundred of make_index error. So, as it is - i cant install new stuff via portupgrade "portinstall -Rv <package>". I seem to be able to maintain it though i.e. "portupgrade -Rv <package>". Anyone can shed light on this matter? I think it might be related to my very very outdated /var/db/pkg/*/CONTENT .. but its just a guess . I cant blow it and start all over again, right? Too risky, this is a production machine.
