Some people have dealt with it in various ways, like deinstalling 
portmanager and portsman, forcing upgrade of all ports still dependent 
on ruby16 and deinstalling that, reinstalling ruby18 
( http://lantech.geekvenue.net/chucktips/jason/chuck/1079913751/index_html ), 
but none of that worked for me (though I didn't have ruby16 or any 
dependent ports). I've also tried removing /usr/ports and cvsup'ping 
again a couple times. I'm running 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9, though I've read of 
this occuring on 4.10 and 5.3 beta as well. For now I'm using 
portindexdb instead of portsdb -u, which is sort of a workaround.
