This looks to be a fairly straightforward error: ---- begin error message ---- fishcat# portsdb -Uu Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait..drweb_postfix-4.29.12f: "/usr/ports/security/drwebd" non-existent -- dependency list incomplete ===> security/drweb-postfix failed *** Error code 1 1 error ******************************************************************** Before reporting this error, verify that you are running a supported version of FreeBSD (see http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/) and that you have a complete and up-to-date ports collection (INDEX builds are not supported with partial or out-of-date ports collections). If so, then report the failure to ports@FreeBSD.org together with relevant details of your ports configuration (including FreeBSD version, environment and /etc/make.conf settings). ******************************************************************** Stop in /usr/ports. failed to generate INDEX! portsdb: index generation error ---- end error message ---- bash-2.05b$ pwd /usr/ports/security bash-2.05b$ ls | more [...] dropbear drweb drweb-postfix drweb-qmail drweb-sendmail dsniff [...] As the portsdb -Uu error message states, /usr/ports/security/drwebd is non-existent (at least following a cvsup of the ports tree today, I am not sure if it was there before) and so the portsdb -Uu run fails with the error message shown above. My FreeBSD version is RELENG_4 (FreeBSD-STABLE). What is the fix for this please? Waiting until a new cvsup corrects the error above, or...? -- Anthony Edwards anthony.edwards@uk.easynet.net
