Hi,

I think I damaged my package database during a
pkgdb -Fu session.  When I try to use portupgrade
with r or R switches I get an error message from
ruby.

To work my way through this I have freshly cvs'd
my entire ports tree and rebuilt the indexes.

Followed /usr/ports/UPDATING for gnome stuff
(except I don't have xscreensaver-gnome installed)

ran portupgrade -a

most recent failure:

[Updating the pkgdb <format:dbm_hash> in /var/db/pkg ... - 591 packages found (-0 +1) . done] /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkgmisc.rb:61:in `push': failed to allocate memory (NoMemoryError)
       from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkgmisc.rb:61:in `shellwords'
       from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:1186:in `get_pkgname'
       from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:1171:in `check_pkgname'
       from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:957:in `upgrade_pkg'
       from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:780:in `do_upgrade'
       from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:702:in `main'
       from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:699:in `main'
       from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:815:in `initialize'
       from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:209:in `main'
       from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:1904

As not all packages fail when I do this will running
portupgrade -a eventually fix this problem?


Sincerely,

Duane Whitty
