I am having some problems with portupgrade. The error message is "/ usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkgdb.rb:322:in `deorigin': " (more below). I see there have been isolated occurrences of this in June of 2003 and 2004, curiously, but I haven't found the solutions there to work. Removing the ports tree and re-fetching it, removing and rebuilding pkgdb, removing and reinstalling portupgrade/ruby, etc, even building a new kernel and world, seem ineffective. I'm still on 4.x (FreeBSD red.paulbeard.org 4.11-RELEASE-p11 FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p11 #0: Tue Jul 5 10:46:00 PDT 2005 root@red.paulbeard.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RED i386) if that helps. Please include me on replies as I am off the list. Thanks for any pointers. [/]# portsdb -Ufu Updating the ports index ...
