 Removing pkgdb.db and INDEX-6.db and then rebuilding them with
  pkgdb and portsdb did the trick for me.
 
   Any ideas?
  
   Thank you in advance,

 Thanks man, alreadt fixed :)

Pretty good answers, but it may involve a little more work than that. This is 
what I did:

mv /usr/ports/INDEX-6.db -- INDEX-6.db.org
mv /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db -- pkgdb.db.org

pkg_delete portupgrade-2.1.3.1,2
pkg_delete ruby18-bdb-0.5.9
pkg_delete ruby18-bdb1-0.2.2
pkg_delete db4-4.0.14_1,1
pkg_delete db41-4.1.25_3
pkg_delete db42-4.2.52_4

I left db43-4.3.29, It would be needed later and reomoving it would cause too 
many other things to have to be rebuilt (or I get a bite in the ass if I 
don't).

cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
make conf  - select bdb4, it'll use db43 as that's what's installed
make package-recursive

pkgdb -Ffix the dependencies
portversion -v |grep needs  rebuilds portsdb (and rechecks pkgdb.db) and I 
find 
out what ports need upgrading.

By the way, I don't use cvsup to upgrade the ports tree. I use portsnap. It's 
way faster than cvsup. When I used cvsup it could take up to 1/2 hr 
(depending on the computer speed) to get to the point of upgrading ports. 
Using portsnap, it only takes a couple of minutes to get to it.

 It makes more sense in hex:

 217,69,164,86;' d945a456 d9.45.a4.56

 It's just different ways of representing a 4 byte unsigned int.

Are you guys mucking around with someone's spam again? Or are you trying 
to figure out that IP address on it - because it's a different way of 
expressing it?

Re: FreeBSD 5.4-PRERELEASE as cvsupdated today won't build, OS crashes

 This is believed to now be fixed with an updated kvm_proc.c.  If not,
 please let me know.

  Also, the system is really instable after I build the kernel for

  I have no more informations due to remote control of the system.

 Do you have approximate before/after dates for when the instability
 began? In particular, was it with an update in the last 48 or 96
 hours?

Robert,

If it helps you narrow things down, I did my last cvsup-src just before 
11:22AM yesterday, 02/27/05. Everything was smooth sailing. My system 
appears stable.
  25211 Feb  5 07:48 /usr/src/lib/libkvm/kvm_proc.c

I use it mainly as a desktop, so it might not be real indicative how 
stable it is as a server.

 Hello to all,

 I'm runinng RELENG_5 and I noticed that ULE scheduler is broken.
 Shouldn't this be documented in UPDATING?

 Thanks very much,

   Nuno Teixeira

It's documented in errata:
(1 Nov 2004) The ULE scheduler described in the release notes has
been completely disabled to discourage its use because it has
stability problems.
