Hello,
I'm having trouble with 'portsdb -uU'
It worked exactly twice on my machine. I was using the following commands to upgrade all my ports:
# cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile # portsdb -uU # pkgdb -F # portupupgrade -a
worked fine first two times. Now.. my cvsup works fine. but when I 'portsdb -uU', it runs for a while and then I get something like:
K_1_2 Segmentation fault (core dumped) JAVA_PORT_LINUX_IBM_JDK_1_3 | /usr/bin/awk '{ print $1 }'" returned non-zero status
===> java/javamail failed
*** Error code 1

Here is my guess, and I emphasize that it is a guess:

is a page I found by using Google to search for:

Now mind you I may have broken my ports tree at some point.
This appears to be the case:
I'm relatively new to FreeBSD... and before I began using portupgrade... I was manually upgrading a handful of ports (make install.. deinstall... reinstall type stuff... downloading port folder manually)..
I suggest reinstalling the ports you deinstalled, if you haven't already done so...
and I think a placed a few in 'new' directories in my ports tree. So I do not know if that would 'break' my ports tree or not. But thought it was worth mentioning.
I can't quite parse this because it appears to me that you've left out a word or two.
Other things worth mentioning:
- I have a very slight customized kernel config file. Added support for ath, removed some processor support (486/586), added splash screen.
I don't think this is relevant.
- I have NEVER cvsupped my kernel src... only the ports tree.
And here it is: go and update your source, including the ports tree, after you have reinstalled the ports you deinstalled. Make sure that the world is correctly installed; then go and try the portupgrade bits, one port at a time.
I have done nothing such as buildworld.
Go and do buildworld, then portupgrade.
Have I broken something? Am I going about upgrading ports the wrong way?
Yes, it appears that you have broken something.
If I have broken my ports tree.... is it possible to recreate it correctly? Maybe delete it and reinstall off CD then cvsup it?
No, you don't need to do a complete reinstall, IMO; you do need to
update your source, perhaps even desperately.
