Background: The problem started while i was trying to install evince on my machine. The makefile told me to run gnomelogalyzer.sh to find the problem, and that script didn't see whatever problem was preventing the make, so it said to try a few things (most of which I'd already done), and then to run 'portupgrade -u'. portupgrade -u seg-faulted, and since then portupgrade and portversion have seg-faulted every time I've tried to run them.
Here is the output I'm getting: [amon-re /root] portupgrade -aP [Updating the pkgdb <format:dbm_hash> in /var/db/pkg ... - 320 packages found (-1 +0) (...)/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkgdb.rb:466: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-freebsd6] zsh: abort (core dumped) portupgrade -aP [amon-re /root] [amon-re /root] portversion -v | grep -v = [Updating the pkgdb <format:dbm_hash> in /var/db/pkg ... - 320 packages found (-1 +0) (...)/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkgdb.rb:466: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-freebsd6] zsh: abort (core dumped) portversion -v | zsh: exit 1 grep -v = [amon-re /root] I googled, and came across the following page: http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/portupgrade/ However, after I attempted fixing it by changing the values of PORTS_DEDRIVER (using 'export PORTS_DEDRIVER=dbm_hash', etc), I noticed that according to this page, the problem only affects versions of freebsd up to 5.3, but I'm using 6.0. If I include "RELEASE-6.0" in my google query, I don't find anything useful. I tried debugging this over IRC with the president of the local bsd users group, but he couldn't see anything immediately wrong. I'll include the output of the commands he had me run. (This was after running portsdb -Fu and portsdb -Uu): [amon-re /root] portversion -v portupgrade [Updating the pkgdb <format:dbm_hash> in /var/db/pkg ... - 320 packages found (-1 +0) (...)/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkgdb.rb:466: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-freebsd6] zsh: abort (core dumped) portversion -v portupgrade [amon-re /root] portversion -vR portupgrade [Updating the pkgdb <format:dbm_hash> in /var/db/pkg ... - 320 packages found (-1 +0) (...)/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkgdb.rb:466: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-freebsd6] zsh: abort (core dumped) portversion -vR portupgrade [amon-re /root] for i in portupgrade ruby ruby18-bdb1; do pkg_info -Ix $i; done portupgrade-2.0.1_1,1 FreeBSD ports/packages administration and management tool s ruby-1.8.2_5,1 An object-oriented interpreted scripting language ruby18-bdb4-0.5.7 Ruby interface to Sleepycat's Berkeley DB revision 2 or lat pkg_info: no packages match pattern(s) [amon-re /root] uname -sr FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE I'd appreciate any ideas to resolve this problem.
