I deleted this file: /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db and then pkgdb -fu succeeded.
But next time I ran I got the same error with /usr/ports/INDEX-7.db.
Then this error disappear.
So it's most likely the bug with Berkeley DB.
Anybody else has these kind of problems?

Quoting Yuri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
While doing portupgrade I am sporadically getting the error like below.
After I ran 'pkgdb -fu' few times and this cured tye problem. But then
after
a while of portupgrade run I now get the error:
pkgdb -fu
---> Updating the pkgdb
[Rebuilding the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ...
/var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db: >unexpected file type or format -- Invalid argument:
Cannot update the pkgdb!]
man pkgdb says:
BUGS
Sometimes a database may get corrupt, and the pkgtools commands may
abort
with a segmentation fault. In such cases, run ``pkgdb -fu'' to
rebuild
the database, and the problems should go away.
So what should I do now to upgrade ports?

Yes, it's partly caused by pkgdb and/or how Ruby / pkgdb handles the
DB I think...
1. What type of BDB structure do you use [most likely btree(1) --
says this during the pkgdb rebuild..]?
2. What version of BDB are you using (1.85, 2.x or 4.x) [(cd
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portinstall && make config) will give you that info]?
3. uname -a says?
