I saw someone ask about this in Google Groups on the 14th but he has
not got an answer yet, so I am not the only one.
How do I fix this?
You could try the following;
1) Update your ports tree.
including updating INDEX-7 or is that taken as read?
#make fetchindex
if done at the same time as updating the ports tree
#make index
any other time but it takes a long time

2) Remove: /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db
3) Run: /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb -Ffuv
4: Run: /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -fUu
4) Run: /usr/sbin/pkg_version -vIL=
Now run portupgrade as you normally do and see what transpires.
If that still fails, install /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmanager
Then run it as thus: portmanager -u -l -y -p
I have had great success in getting updates completed successfully with
portmanager when portupgrade and portmaster both crapped out. I would
suggest that you consider deleting the contents of
the /usr/ports/distfiles prior to running any of the above port utility
programs.
