No.
You don't need to completely delete and redownload the whole ports
tree. And running 'portsdb -U' does exactly the same thing as running
'make index' -- no need to do it twice. And 'portsdb -u' will crash
in exactly the same way as you've seen before.
Just do this:
# cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile
# make index
# setenv PORTS_DBDRIVER bdb1_hash
# portsdb -u
The 'portsdb -u' command is where the crash usually occurs. Once
you've got past that stage, you're home and dry. Run
portupgrade/portversion/pkgdb as usual.
The bug is in the base system. A fix has been committed to 6-CURRENT:
it should percolate down to 4-STABLE and 5-STABLE in the next few
days.
Cheers,
Matthew
