Hi!
I had a similar problem some time ago. Some intermediate combination of
pkg-tools/ruby/portupgrade installed bad metadata. The following
helped me identity the ports with bad files:
find /var/db/pkg -type f -exec iconv -t US-ASCII {} > /dev/null \;
Reinstalling the indicated ports solved it for me. I'm currently using
pkg-tools, ruby19 and portupgrade with no problems on FreeBSD 8.3.
Well thank you Gyrd! This was actually the problem. Your commandline
showed that jpilot had bad metadata, and after removing it the pkgdb seems
clean again.
Thanks all for the help.
Regards,
Marco
