I'm abit confused, just syncing your port tree via cvsup does'nt work?
ie. things wont build after that, but after removing your entire ports
tree they will? Are you sure it couldn'nt be a disc problem with the
ports files being corrupted?

Yeah, I'm confused too :), but that's what's going on. I have a cronjob that syncs my ports tree every day at noon. It does:


/usr/local/bin/cvsup -L 2 /usr/sup/supfile
/usr/local/sbin/portsdb -Uu
/usr/sbin/pkg_version -v | grep "needs"

My supfile is:

*default host=cvsup11.us.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_2
*default use-rel-suffix compress

src-all
ports-all tag=.
doc-all tag=.

Additionally, I should mention that the problem isn't consistent.

For instance, yesterday, the cronjob ran and I was notified (pkg_version -v) that there were updates to XFree86 et.al.

I got home last night, and did a portupgrade -a. No problem.

Today at noon, cvsup (via cronjob) ran again.

I got home tonight and finally decided to install xmms. So I did a "portinstall xmms" and it installed fine.

Later on, I decided I wanted to install fwbuilder. "portinstall fwbuilder" started, then eventually bombed with the patch errors.

So I "rm -rf /usr/ports", did cvsup again which sucked in a virgin ports tree again, then tried "portinstall fwbuilder" again. I'ts humming along nicely now.

I'll entertain the possiblity of disk errors, but I am not having any other noticeable issues, and I have just one big filesystem (/).

Is it possible portsdb -Uu is hosing things?

No sure if this is "the" problem, but missing "delete" may be keeping
stale files sing aloud ?

If adding "delete" doesn't solve your problem, save the problem port(s)
somewhere before zapping /usr/ports, and compare before and after.

Ugh. That's probably it. I have

*default delete use-rel-suffix compress

on all my other boxes that aren't having problems.

Thanks!
