Dear all,

I have observed the following behavior in portupgrade:

The operation

portugrade -a

results in a repetitive rebuild of the package database whenever the database is accessed.

[Updating the pkgdb <format:dbm_hash> in /var/db/pkg ... Inappropriate file type or format - /var/db/pkg/pkgdb; rebuild needed] [Rebuilding the pkgdb <format:dbm_hash> in /var/db/pkg ... - 435 packages found (-0 +435) ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... done]
--->  Backing up the old version
[Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... Failed `Inappropriate file type or format'; rebuild needed] [Rebuilding the pkgdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 435 packages found (-0 +435) ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... done]
--->  Uninstalling the old version
[Updating the pkgdb <format:dbm_hash> in /var/db/pkg ... Inappropriate file type or format - /var/db/pkg/pkgdb; rebuild needed] [Rebuilding the pkgdb <format:dbm_hash> in /var/db/pkg ... - 435 packages found (-0 +435) ......................................................................................................


Is this a bug or a feature ?

What can be done to suppress this behavior of portupgrade -a ?

Thanks, Arno
