You don't say what OS version you're using. If it isn't a recent
4.10-STABLE, 5.3-STABLE 6-CURRENT or one of the 5.3-BETA/RCn then you
may be hitting the same bug in the bdb1_btree support in the base
system that caused ruby to dump core while running portsdb.
This is the fix that was applied to the listed branches:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/db/btree/bt_split.c.=
diff?r1=3D1.6&r2=3D1.7
A workaround is to set the following in the environment:
# setenv PORTS_DBDRIVER=3Dbdb1_hash
# setenv PKG_DBDRIVER=3Dbdb1_hash
which will cause portupgrade to use the hash format rather than the
btree format. Other, similar, fixes can be applied -- check the
archives for possibilities.
Cheers,
Matthew
