For the past few days, I have been having problems updating my ports tree via 'portsnap'. It continually gives errors similar to the following: <quote> Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap2.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap6.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap1.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap5.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap4.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching snapshot metadata... fetch: http://portsnap4.FreeBSD.org/t/4816ec0c67a1c999c4d3875335b3d419a1a1a2497262158e661b9b5973b0453a: No address record sha256: 4816ec0c67a1c999c4d3875335b3d419a1a1a2497262158e661b9b5973b0453a: No such file or directory [: !=: unexpected operator mv: rename 4816ec0c67a1c999c4d3875335b3d419a1a1a2497262158e661b9b5973b0453a to tINDEX.new: No such file or directory done. grep: tINDEX.new: No such file or directory look: tINDEX.new: No such file or directory Portsnap metadata appears bogus. Cowardly refusing to proceed any further. </quote> apparently, portsnap will only work successfully once every five or six attempts. In some cases, I receive a message that "no mirrors" were found and the program halts immediately.
