Hi,
I inherited a FreeBSD 4.8 box that had a lot of out of date ports
on it. in
trying to fix some of this, i seem to have screwed up the package or
ports system in a way i cant manage to fix.
For example if i try to run "portversion" i get:
undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass
/usr/local/sbin/portversion:239: [BUG] Bus Error
from Ruby (ruby 1.8.5 is up to date on the system).
If i try to run "pkg_info" I quickly get:
pkg_info: read_plist: bad command '@conflicts apache+ipv6-1.*'
(i googled for similar problems and there were a few other reports
of this, with other packages, but no suggestion of how to fix them.)
If i try to rebuild my ports index, I get
gnopernicus-0.12.0: "/usr/ports/accessibility/gnome-speech" non-
existent --
dependency list incomplete"
and nothing will go further.
How can i get all of this sorted? i was really hoping to be able
to update
most of this sytem but now i cant even get started to find out
what needs it :-(
Jen
That is really quite an old version of FSBD. If possible, I think
you would be well served by updating to the latest version - 6.1 -
if possible.
I may be wrong, but I do not believe that there is a lot of support
for that version anymore.

Has anyone ever tasted an "end"? Are they really bitter?
Version 4.x is no longer supported by FreeBSD at all. I suggest
either reinstalling FreeBSD 5.4 or just install 6.1.
