Hello,
I have installed FREEBSD 5.3 some days ago , and while i was reading the
handbook , i followed some instructions of it , and did the following things:
installed CVSup to update my port collection , and then
created a db of the ports with pkgdb -F command.
scaned my ports with portaudit and got 11 results,for various packages.
I decided to update these packages with portupdate.
i typed : su-2.05b# portupgrade kdegraphics-3.3.0 -r
And i got :
Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait..
i Was waiting and waiting and waiting,but in vain.after 1 hour,nothing.
I run bsd on a P3550,128mb ram,hdd 20gb.
i decided to ctrl+c the procedure,and got this output :
^Cfailed to generate INDEX!
index generation error
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/portsdb.rb:482:in `open_db': database file

from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:674:in `main'
from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:207:in `initialize'
from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:207:in `new'
from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:207:in `main'
from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:1845
So , it is logical to wait THAT long for the INDEX.TMP file to be created or
it isn't my fault?..Waiting for your reply
Thanks in advance,
George
