I've run across a msg or two mentioning this... but that was before I was trying to solve this problem so I was not paying close attention at the time. I just tried it. I did a fresh cvsup, then the 'make fetchindex' (which pulled something out of the ether)... and then a 'portsdb -u'. The portsdb finished almost immediately and provided no output!? good? bad? dunno. So I moved on to 'pkgdb -F' which went well. I am currently watching the portupgrade do its thing. It takes a while because I have OpenOffice installed. I'll post back with my results. Thanks for the assistance. -- Regards, Eric
