Problem with ports

[Bob Myers]

I've started getting consistent port install/upgrade failures.   The 
"+CONTENTS" file of the package being installed isn't being installed into 
the /var/db/pkg// directory and the port install fails trying to 
check it at that point.

Any ideas what could be causing this?   The ports directory has been freshly 
rebuilt via cvsup and I've ran all the tools I can think of (pkgdb, etc) 
trying to correct it.

Thanks...

Nothing to do with the supfile.

cvsup is looking to resolve its *own* IP address.
Add it to the /etc/hosts file.

host problem with ports CVSUP

[Alex]

I'm trying to use CVSUP to update my ports collection.
When I run the command "cvsup ports-supfile" I get an
error that reads:

Cannot get IP address of my own host -- is its
hostname correct?

Pasted below are the applicable lines from the
ports-supfile, can anyone see what I"m doing wrong?

*default host=cvsup9.us.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress

Thanks,
Alex
