If the dependencies get a bit mixed up, you will be told that you need to run 'pkgdb -Fu'. > # portsdb -Uu This, or an equivalent command, is necessary. Basically what it does is build the INDEX or INDEX-5 file. The command: # cd /usr/ports # make index does basically the same thing. Takes a while -- perhaps 10 -- 20 minutes on a typical machine. Alternatively you can download a freshly built copy from one of: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/INDEX http://www.freebsd.org/ports/INDEX-5 Those are about 5MiB apiece and they don't contain the effects of any local settings from your /etc/make.conf.
