I believe this is a known problem with the Berkeley DB in the base system which has proved very difficult to track down; nobody's been able to pin down the exact circumstances in which it's triggered. The workaround is to tell portupgrade to use a format other than bdb1_btree: export PKG_DBDRIVER=bdb1_hash export PORTS_DBDRIVER=bdb1_hash or install a recent portupgrade configured with the option to use BerkeleyDB from ports instead of the 1.85 in the base. -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [WAY too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon univ.
