Hello, For the past couple of weeks, I've been seeing errors like this when I try to update my ports index after doing a cvsup of the ports collection: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # portsdb -Uu Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait..drweb_postfix-4 .29.12f: "/usr/ports/security/drwebd" non-existent -- dependency list incomplete ===> security/drweb-postfix failed *** Error code 1 1 error ******************************************************************** 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and that you have a complete and up-to-date ports collection (INDEX builds are not supported with partial or out-of-date ports collections). If so, then report the failure to ports@FreeBSD.org together with relevant details of your ports configuration (including FreeBSD version, environment and /etc/make.conf settings). ******************************************************************** *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports. failed to generate INDEX! portsdb: index generation error --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've tried switching cvsup servers and even completely removing /usr/ports and pulling down a complete fresh copy via cvsup before updating the index, but that didn't seem to help. I'm running 4.9-RELEASE-p5 on an Intel P4. Here are the contents of my /etc/make.conf: ---------------------------------------- # -- use.perl generated deltas -- # # Created: Tue Jun 22 12:29:00 2004 # Setting to use base perl from ports: PERL_VER=5.8.4 PERL_VERSION=5.8.4 PERL_ARCH=mach NOPERL=yo NO_PERL=yo NO_PERL_WRAPPER=yo ---------------------------------------- Here are my environment variables: ---------------------------------------- # env _=/usr/bin/env PAGER=less -eds PS1=phalanx# PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin SHELL=/bin/ksh BLOCKSIZE=K USER=root MAIL=/var/mail/root HOME=/root TERM=xterm FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES ENV=/root/.shrc ---------------------------------------- Please let me know if there's any other information that you need. I'm actually seeing this problem on more than one system. One of the other hosts is running 5.2.1-RELEASE-p5. -- David
