Yes. You have to set that environment variable *every time* you use
any of the portupgrade(1) tools, which includes portversion(1) and
portsdb(1).
You can set it from within /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf if you want --
saves having to keep remembering to do that. Just add:
ENV['PORTS_DBDRIVER'] = 'bdb1_hash'
to that file: right after the whole block of other ENV stuff is a good
place.
Cheers,
Matthew
