--=-3rPzs3blRMt+zfR5/ZNe Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I was using portupgrade happily upgrading my ports, when it barfed in the middle of something. I don't remember exactly what, I think it could have been links or libslang. I don't remember the exact error, only that it had something to do with memory. So I assumed there just wasn't enough available. I checked with top, and I still had a good 50MB of RAM available, and most of my swap space (500MB orso) free. Fair enough. So I try to continue. It fails on the package upgrade. Trying to find out what fails, I tried pkgdb -u. Failed. Same error. I tried deleting portupgrade and installing it again, to no effect. It invariably, depending on the phase of the moon, I suppose, gives one of two errors, either: root@knyghtmare:/root# pkgdb -u [Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 325 packages found (-3 +2) (...)/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkgdb.rb:435: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.6.7 (2002-09-12) [i386-freebsd4] Abort (core dumped) or... root@knyghtmare:/root# pkgdb -u [Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 325 packages found (-3 +2) (...)Cannot allocate memory: Cannot update the pkgdb!] I've tried rebooting. Doesn't seem to help, and it was working fine until it barfed on me. I've tried deleting links and libslang, too, in case it messed the database somehow. That's still my best theory, though deleting them didn't help. Anyone have any ideas? --=-3rPzs3blRMt+zfR5/ZNe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA9olvaRhxQpFRYpjsRAvfQAJwKdodGm8ur/a2HKRxuqeCftv1b9QCgzzQ/ yKd7NI5i/TTzXcuWrL9gBa0= =rE/3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-3rPzs3blRMt+zfR5/ZNe-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
