Hrm.  I thought bdb1 btrees were well known to be buggy, to be honest. 
(I had a feeling it was going to turn out to be this issue as soon as
someone reported that configuring portupgrade to use bdb_hash fixed it.)

You can actually change the database backend manually: Install 
databases/ruby-bdb and set the envvar PORTS_DBDRIVER to bdb_btree or 
bdb_hash, then run portsdb -fu - works for me, so that also points to be some 
bug in bdb1.

Occurs less frequently?  That's not what I'm looking for.  Is there
a *fix* for the root cause?
Oddly enough, there are a lot of other people who would also prefer
a more complete fix.  If we had a fix, we would install it and you
wouldn't have to work around the problem.  There are developers who
are looking into the problem.  I think the problem is really in bdb
(which ruby is calling for database-work), and not in ruby itself.

I haven't seen one. I have seen comments but when ruby is updated, you will 
probably be seeing a fix.

I am also running portindexdb for that reason. For what I use INDEX-5.db for, 
portindexdb works just fine. We may have to wait until the port freeze is 
over. So far, I am only having to use in on my RELENG_5 machine. It cvsups 
port-all 2x a day as a cronjob and moving a "#" from one command ot another 
in the script isn't much work :).

I started using portindexdb because it doesn't error off. I also don't use 
categories, which it doesn't produce.
I'm using portsindexsb as a work around, but it still doesn't address or 
solve the problem which makes portsdb -Uu fail.  I've tried removing and 
re-extracting the ports tree and doing whatever else was suggested in 
the -ports@ mailing list(s) - to no avail.

I had to download a fresh ports.tar.gz (and extract it).
Then portsdb -Uu works.

Which VMware version?  Did you still see it on the latest vesrion 4.5.2?
