I have a couple of older boxes on freebsd 6 that are reporting ports succeeding

FreeBSD-6 is past it's end of life, and the ports tree no longer maintains a current
index file for 6.x. You can do a "make index" yourself, but there are no
guarantees that this will continue to work as time passes. Time to upgrade to FreeBSD 7
or 8...
Regards,
yup, yup, i know! these boxes are scheduled for upgrades once i get to
the data center (freebsd-update works great, but it only takes one typo
in the merged config files for a reboot to fail)
INDEX-6 matched ports fine up till today however, which is why i posted.
maybe today was the 'day'.
