Well, yes, different processes. If you ps while you do portsdb -uU you'll see what is going on. Since portupgrade is built with the ruby scripting language, it just calls lots of other tools to generate the databases and bring things in an order. That's at least what I think, not a pro on that. > > Is this bad?

I have the same problem, get a lot of these messages. Also, some ports do not seem to get indexed or databased, as for example BitchX or linux-opera. I have to do for example 'portinstall irc/BitchX'. Even with a really fresh portstree (cvsup with an empty /usr/ports), these messages come up. I suppose this has to do with dependencies or some maintainers have used "malformed entries" (malformed at least for portupgrade and portsdb, that is). > And these "malformed entry" and "non-existent -- dependency list incomplete" > entries are looking a bit scary. > Unfortunately I have no idea how to fix this. Nothing (except above described problems) seems to be really broken though. Not much of help, I'm afraid. Perhaps someone more into this has an idea what this is all about? regards -- Andreas "ant" Ntaflos ntaflos.andreas@gmx.net Vienna, AUSTRIA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
