Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Ok, I just tried a portupgrade for several ports as I usually do (every couple weeks I try to catch them up), using: portupgrade -RN So it got to a point where it was trying to install wget, saying it was updating the package database, etc.. And it stopped. Still cranking CPU cycles, and all, increasing, even. But never finished. I finally broke it off and had to reinstall directly from the port. Now pkgdb -F does the same thing. It starts up, prints out the following line: # pkgdb -F [Updating the pkgdb in /var/db/pkg ... - 279 packages found (-2 +2) (...) And freezes. The CPU load for the ruby process grows to about 95%, and bounces around between that and 99%, never finishing. I'm a bit lost. Any ideas what I can do to fix this problem?
