Hello, I'm a relative new user of FreeBSD 5.4.  I'm having the following=20
problem with a portsdb update.

=46resh install, using the stock 'ports-supfile' with just the server=20
information modified.  I did an install from the FreeBSD ftp site with no=20
problems.

Running on a Pentium I 100MHz,=20

env got me this:

TERM=3Dxterm
SHELL=3D/usr/local/bin/bash
USER=3Droot
PAGER=3Dmore
=46TP_PASSIVE_MODE=3DYES
MAIL=3D/var/mail/root
PATH=3D/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X1=
1R6/bin
BLOCKSIZE=3DK
PWD=3D/root
SHLVL=3D1
HOME=3D/root
_=3D/usr/bin/env


make.conf is:
# added by use.perl 2005-08-02 14:34:56
PERL_VER=3D5.8.6
PERL_VERSION=3D5.8.6

Here's the entire log of any/all error messages I get:

********************************************************************
Before reporting this error, verify that you are running a supported
version of FreeBSD (see http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/) and that you
have a complete and up-to-date ports collection.  (INDEX builds are
not supported with partial or out-of-date ports collections -- in
particular, if you are using cvsup, you must cvsup the "ports-all"
collection, and have no "refuse" files.)  If that is the case, then
report the failure to ports@FreeBSD.org together with relevant
details of your ports configuration (including FreeBSD version,
your architecture, your environment, and your /etc/make.conf
settings, especially compiler flags and WITH/WITHOUT settings).

Note: the latest pre-generated version of INDEX may be fetched
automatically with "make fetchindex".

Any ideas?  I'm at a complete loss without more verbose error messages.

I've tried portsdb -F, -fu, all of it.  I'm baffled.
