Done. >> portsdb: can't convert nil into String I was going to suggest updating your ports tree, but I just tried that and it's failing still. Unless you've modified your ports or added extra dependencies, you can just fetch the index with: portsdb -FU. If you use portsnap(8), you'll get the INDEX updated automatically as well.

Yes, open up /usr/local/sbin/portsdb, go to line 205 and remove these lines: rescue => e STDERR.puts "#{MYNAME}: #{e}" exit 1 You can also run 'make index' in /usr/ports and see if it fails. I've logged this failure upstream at https://github.com/pkgtools/pkgtools/issues/27 If you figure anything further out, before I fix it, please let me know. > > The boxes are 7.4/8.2 i386/amd64 with different versions of ruby and bdb > backend. > > Maybe some port has some invalid value and I might just exclude it as a > temporary fix... but which one is it? > > bye & Thanks > av.
