The thing is I always have the whole "Chinese" ports collection in my
refuse file when I do a cvsup among with a bunch of other stuff so I
don't know why this error decides to show itself now. Any help would be
appreciated. 
 
I am using the following:
 
FreeBSD santacruz 4.9-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p7 #0: Sat May  8
01:42:38 GMT 2004
 
 
 
santacruz# portsdb -Uu
