Howdy freebsd-questions - almost every day I run a "portupgrade --batch
-rav" over my installed packages on my "FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE #0" system. Two
days ago I noticed that portupgrade itself was updated and that subsequent
packages had troubles updating.
Here's a sample for a "portupgrade --batch -rav" run:
...
===> Building for p5-Set-IntSpan-1.15
cp IntSpan.pm blib/lib/Set/IntSpan.pm
Manifying blib/man3/Set::IntSpan.3

---> Uninstallation of p5-Set-IntSpan-1.14 ended at: Tue, 09 Nov 2010

-0700 (consumed 00:00:16)
...
It appears as if the deinstall fails for some (at least to me) unknown
reason. p5-Set-IntSpan was not updated and we end up with lots of stale
dependencies that need to be fixed via "pkgdb -F". If I manually do a "make
deinstall reinstall" in the port-directory then the deinstall does not have
any issues.
Does anybody know where I should be looking for a solution to the
"(undefined method `nil' for "":String)" problem?
Thanks - Tobias
