If you figure anything further out, before I fix it, please let me know.
I'd gladly help.
The way to go, IMHO,is to get additional logging; unfortunately I know
nothing about Ruby.
I tried digging this up a little: the problem seems to arise in
portsdb.rb, in function "update", when the temp file is moved to
/usr/ports/INDEX-7 (or -8 or whatever).
if not system('/bin/mv', '-f', tmp, index_file)
STDERR.puts 'failed to overwrite #{index_file}!"'
raise IndexFileError, "index overwrite error"
end
Here index_file is nil.
If I replace index_file with "/usr/ports/INDEX-7" (again, or -8, or
whatever), everything works fine.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find out where that value should come
from and how to fix it.
bye & Thanks
av.
