While doing portupgrade I am sporadically getting the error like below.
After I ran 'pkgdb -fu' few times and this cured tye problem. But then after
a while of portupgrade run I now get the error:
>pkgdb -fu
>---> Updating the pkgdb
>[Rebuilding the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ...
/var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db: >unexpected file type or format -- Invalid argument:
Cannot update the pkgdb!]
man pkgdb says:
BUGS
Sometimes a database may get corrupt, and the pkgtools commands may abort
with a segmentation fault. In such cases, run ``pkgdb -fu'' to rebuild
the database, and the problems should go away.
So what should I do now to upgrade ports?
