Hi All,

I've just updated my portstree and I'm trying to run portupgrade , which
gives
me following error:

Cannot read the portsdb? 

[root@silicon /usr/ports]# ls -l /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  5272576 Feb  1 10:56 /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db

I also tried to delete pkgdb.db and recreate it using pkgdb -u , it didnt 
help.

I'm running FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE with portupgrade-2.2.2_1,2

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,

	Dominik

I've had the same problem last night.  Sadly, the machine is at home and
I at work so I cannot do much more than say "me too".  However, I am
willing to try any patches this evening.

This has been reported several times already, and I think it's solved
in a more recent portupgrade.
Have a look at this thread:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2007-January/038395.html
And this commit to portupgrade:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-ports/2007-February/117217.html

HTH!
