>Description:
	My /usr/sup/refuse file includes refusals for all non-English
	languages to keep from cluttering up my system with files I do
	not use or need.

	Therefore, I do not have, for instance, /usr/ports/japanese.  In
	times past, when I want portversion to report correctly, I used
	to run portsdb -Uu to update the indices with the latest port
	versions.  Recently, sommeone changed something somewhere so
	that portsdb -Uu no longer works.  Instead of ignoring missing
	language ports like it used to, it now aborts on the first
	missing port and stops:

# portsdb -Uu
Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait..tkscanfax-1.02: "/usr/ports/japanese/tk80" non-existent -- dependency list incomplete
===> comms/tkscanfax failed

********************************************************************
Before reporting this error, verify that you are running a supported
version of FreeBSD (see http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/) and that you
have a complete and up-to-date ports collection (INDEX builds are
not supported with partial or out-of-date ports collections).  If
so, then report the failure to ports at FreeBSD.org together with
relevant details of your ports configuration (including FreeBSD
version, environment and /etc/make.conf settings).
