I am a newcomer to freebsd and am still trying to get to grips with package management. When I try to do a binary upgrade of a package it hangs. Recently I tried to upgrade sylpheed-claws and nothing happened for 2 hours. I got the following message: # portupgrade -v -P sylpheed-claws ---> Session started at: Sat, 28 May 2005 08:53:35 +0000 [Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 260 packages found (-1 +7) (...) I get similar behaviour when I try to do pkgdb -F I am running through a proxy and have PACKAGESITE=3D"ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stab= le/Latest/" in my /etc/profile I assume that I'm doing something wrong. Can somebody help?
