Can someone tell me how solve this? > 6.4 is EOL but it seems the index is build for portsnap. Even in 8.3-RC2 you can find the following lines in /etc/portsnap.conf INDEX INDEX-6 DESCRIBE.6 INDEX INDEX-7 DESCRIBE.7 INDEX INDEX-8 DESCRIBE.8 At last on my 8.3-RC2 system INDEX-6 will be renewed per default during "portsnap update" So if you use portsnap you have a real chance to get INDEX-6 but ports are not guarantied to build since most of the 6.x specific parts are already removed from the ports tree. If you want to try portsnap rename /usr/ports to ports.old so you have your old tree as fall-back. -- Regards, olli
