I am still seeing this error if I run portupgrade -a:

I have heeded the advice in UPDATING:
adjust the PORTS_DBDRIVER variable (in your environment or in pkgtools.conf) to either bdb1_hash or dbm_hash.
but it doesn't seem to take. I have bdb1_hash in pkgtools.conf. I have even tried -q/--noconfig to only take environment variables.
[/var/db/pkg]# export PORTS_DBDRIVER=bdb1_hash; pkgdb -qF ---> Checking the package registry database[Rebuilding the pkgdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 542 packages found (-0 +542) ..............................
what am I missing?FWIW, I can use an incantation of portmanager to find the outdated ports and use portupgrade on the one by one.
