Have been cvsup-ing for couple of days with the same results. /usr/ports/INDEX is updated correctly, but will have errors once I run portsdb -Uu. As of yesterday, I am skipping the "portsdb -Uu" step after cvsup-ing ports-all. This is NOT a correct behaviour for using portugrade, right? But I would imagine this would be a better alternative that having a /usr/ports/INDEX that has errors in it. (/usr/ports/INDEX.db would correspondingly have errors too?)
