Hi all, New to your list, so please forgive if I'm not doing this right, in which case please show me the way :) I have this issue when running portupgrade; /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -varR ---> Session started at: Mon, 09 Oct 2006 15:12:24 +0100 [Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db: unexpected file type or format -- Invalid argument; rebuild needed] [Rebuilding the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ...

No idea what this means or how to fix it. Any pointers would be much appreciated!
Wernher, For general questions you should send emails to the freebsd-questions list. Regarding your question, I believe the problem is that you recently upgraded your Berkeley DB and/or portupgrade and now your version of portupgrade is incompatible with the previous database. I had this problem a while back and if I remember correctly you have to delete your previous portupgrade database and running it afterwards will just create a new one. However, I don't remember how I did this so I would suggest mailing the questions list as I'm sure someone there will have the answer. -David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# fortune Happiness is just an illusion, filled with sadness and confusion. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
