Something bad is going on, but you should read stuff like /usr/ports/UPDATING. What is likely our problem is the change that was made to the way cvsup handles the index file now. It doesn't update it automatically anymore. You have to do something like make fetchindex.Hello,
I'm having trouble with 'portsdb -uU'
It worked exactly twice on my machine. I was using the following commands to upgrade all my ports:
# cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile # portsdb -uU # pkgdb -F # portupupgrade -a
worked fine first two times. Now.. my cvsup works fine. but when I 'portsdb -uU', it runs for a while and then I get something like:
K_1_2 Segmentation fault (core dumped) JAVA_PORT_LINUX_IBM_JDK_1_3 | /usr/bin/awk '{ print $1 }'" returned non-zero status
===> java/javamail failed

Now mind you I may have broken my ports tree at some point. I'm relatively new to FreeBSD... and before I began using portupgrade... I was manually upgrading a handful of ports (make install.. deinstall... reinstall type stuff... downloading port folder manually).. and I think a placed a few in 'new' directories in my ports tree. So I do not know if that would 'break' my ports tree or not. But thought it was worth mentioning.
Other things worth mentioning:
- I have a very slight customized kernel config file. Added support for ath, removed some processor support (486/586), added splash screen.
- I have NEVER cvsupped my kernel src... only the ports tree.
- Other than changing the kernel config file and buildkernel/install kernel... I have done nothing such as buildworld.
- No other problems on my machine.

Have I broken something? Am I going about upgrading ports the wrong way? If I have broken my ports tree.... is it possible to recreate it correctly? Maybe delete it and reinstall off CD then cvsup it?
Thanks
