Hello Well, I could find a CD/DVD updated of FreeBSD. Well, I decided to continue manually. I download the last ports.tar.gz file. I unpacked to /usr/ports. :) Then I tried the following and message said about can't cd to systutils/portupgrade (is that fine?)
#portversion cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade ..... and then try to download an index file, but as I dont have internet connection, it start to updateing the ports index.... After it finished I tried #portversion cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade [missing key: categories] [Updatting the portsdb <format:dbd_btree> in /usr/ports ... - 17674 port entries found .... 1000 ... 2000 .... 17000..... done] missing key : categories: Cannot read the portsdb! database file error db41 expat ... the show the lis of pakages So, what is wrong with the database? and also [missing key: categories] ? cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade ??? How can I fixed those? Anderson On 9/19/07, Simon Barner < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Mr Anderson wrote: > > Hello > > > > I have been using FreeBSD in the Univ recently and quite interesting.
