Regarding this error:
"Warning: Duplicate INDEX entry: freeciv-imlib-1.13.0"
is this an "inside joke" or just a real tough problem to
fix? been seeing this error for ages (I would fix this if
I could, but I couldn't code myself out of a brown paper
bag :-)

Thanks for the correction Kent, I was doing a couple of unnecessary
steps. I would usually rm my /usr/ports/INDEX /usr/ports/INDEX.db and
/usr/ports/INDEX.txt files because they were going to be recreated
anyways (I do refuse the INDEX file when cvsuping to save bandwidth).

I never referenced the command "portsdb -Fv" I said "pkgdb -Fv",
and I picked up this step from a message thread started by Stacey
Roberts in December 2002 that you had responded to, so I assumed
(ya I know) that this was OK or even a "good thing" to do during
the INDEX's generation process.
As I understand "pkgdb -Fv" it is an interactive check/repair of
your installed ports/packages as referenced by the /var/db/pkg
entries (package registry database) and _Yes_ it has no bearing on
generation of the INDEX/db files.
Thanks again Kent for your willingness to share your expertise
and all the great pointers and background information I pick up
just reading yours and others contributions to the mailing lists.
