Subject:   make fetchindex: new INDEX being generated but not updating?
Message-ID:  <421682E7.1000704@alumni.rice.edu>

I use 'make fetchindex'.  For the last few days it seems that new INDEX 
files are being generated but do not contain up-to-date information. 
This is happening with both 4.x and 5.x.  I do not have any boxes 
running -CURRENT at this time.

I've taken to using the following aliases.  When I see "succeeds port" 
with 'v', I run 'V' to get accurate results:

$ alias | grep version
alias v='portversion -v | grep -v "="'
alias V='pkg_version -v | grep -v "="'
$ v
emacs-21.3_4                >  succeeds port (port has 21.3_3)
portlint-2.6.11             >  succeeds port (port has 2.6.10_1)
squid-2.5.8                 >  succeeds port (port has 2.5.7_13)
$ V
$ ll /usr/ports/INDEX*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  -  6243534 Feb 18 16:06 INDEX-5
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  - 14982144 Feb 18 17:34 INDEX.db

Those ports were last updating on the 13th and 14th.  Anyone know what's 
happening here?

Jon
