The last successful of run of portupgrade (on only one of those systems) was to upgrade thunderbird on 14.07.2005. But today #portupgrade outputs the following: [Failed `Inappropriate file type or format'] [Updating the portsdb in /usr/ports ... - 13190 port entries found .........1000.........2000.........3000.........4000.........5000.........6000.........7000.........8000.........9000.........10000.........11000........./usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/portsdb.rb:613: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-freebsd4] Abort (core dumped) and, indeed, there is a ruby18.core file of some 10 Mb. Naturally, the is not upgraded. Most mystifying is, there has been change neither to any ruby ports nor to portupgrade itself, since the most recent uses of the portupgrade. Output from relevant pkg_info is as follows: # pkg_info | grep ruby ruby-1.6.8.2004.07.28_1 An object-oriented interpreted scripting language ruby-1.8.2_4 An object-oriented interpreted scripting language ruby18-bdb1-0.2.2 Ruby interface to Berkeley DB revision 1.8x with full featu ruby18-programmingruby-0.4 The source of the Programming Ruby ("pick-axe") book in XML # pkg_info | grep portupgrade portupgrade-20041226_5 FreeBSD ports/packages administration and management tool s (ruby-1.6 is on only one system; some cruft i haven't taken time to clean out, but it hasn't caused any problem, so don't think that's related) This problem does *not* appear today on my 5.x system. Thanks for any help, advice. - Jake
