Re: portupgrade, pkgdb hang

You're not doing anything wrong.  The pkgdb apparently has some major 
differences that is taking a large amount of time to reconcile.  I had one 
machine that was way behind and took several hours to catch up.


Run pkgdb and go to bed. :)  Next day everything should be fine.

When I try to do a binary upgrade of a package it hangs.  Recently I

got the following message:

I get similar behaviour when I try to do pkgdb -F

I am running through a proxy and have
PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/Latest/;
in my /etc/profile

I assume that I'm doing something wrong.  Can somebody help?
