Hi all, I am having problems with portupgrade and related tools on 5.0-RELEASE on Sparc64. I can't find anything relevant in the archives, nor on Google, so I turn to you ;-) When invoked in the usual manner, portinstall cannot search the ports directory structure (or so it seems to me): [osiris: root: /usr/ports]# portinstall -R exim ** No such installed package nor such port called 'exim' is found. But, if I supply the subdir name, portinstall finds the port: [osiris: root: /usr/ports]# portinstall -R mail/exim ---> Installing 'exim-4.12_1' from a port (mail/exim) ---> Building '/usr/ports/mail/exim' ===> Cleaning for perl-5.6.1_11 ===> Cleaning for exim-4.12_1 ... portupgrade has problems, too, apparently reading /var/db/pkg: [osiris: root: ~]# portupgrade -a ** No such package '*' is installed. I have the latest versions of Ruby and Portupgrade, and the pkgtools.conf is unaltered. I don't have any problems with the same versions of Ruby and Portupgrade on any of my i386 boxes. I seem to recall similar behaviour on 4.X/i386 a while ago, but didn't pursue it. Anyone else see anything similar on either i386 or Sparc64? Any ideas how to correct it? I have had a quick look through the script files, but it's all Greek to me... As always, any insights, thoughts or pointers very gratefully accepted. Flames too, if this has been answered recently and I just missed it...
