portsdb -Uu error

Tue Aug 3 14:54:04 PDT 2004

I believe this to be a correct report of an issue with portsdb -Uu.

Error:

********************************************************************
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not supported with partial or out-of-date ports collections -- in
particular, if you are using cvsup, you must cvsup the "ports-all"
collection, and have no "refuse" files.)  If that is the case, then
report the failure to ports at FreeBSD.org together with relevant
details of your ports configuration (including FreeBSD version,
your architecture, your environment, and your /etc/make.conf
settings, especially compiler flags and WITH/WITHOUT settings).

Note: the latest pre-generated version of INDEX may be fetched
automatically with "make fetchindex".

# The CPUTYPE variable controls which processor should be targeted for
# generated code.  This controls processor-specific optimizations in
# certain code (currently only OpenSSL) as well as modifying the value
# of CFLAGS to contain the appropriate optimization directive to gcc.
# The automatic setting of CFLAGS may be overridden using the
# NO_CPU_CFLAGS variable below.
# Currently the following CPU types are recognized:
#   Intel x86 architecture:
#       (AMD CPUs)      k7 k6-2 k6 k5
#       (Intel CPUs)    p4 p3 p2 i686 i586/mmx i586 i486 i386
#   Alpha/AXP architecture: ev6 pca56 ev56 ev5 ev45 ev4
#
# If you experience any problems after setting this flag, please unset
# it again before submitting a bug report or attempting to modify
code.
# It may be that certain types of software will become unstable after
being
# compiled with processor-specific (or higher - see below)
optimization flags.
# If in doubt, do not set CPUTYPE or CFLAGS to non-default values.

recommended
# or supported for compiling the world or the kernel - please revert

reports

Comments: /etc/make.conf has worked just fine until today, as has
/etc/cvsup.

I tried "make fetchindex' and then ran portversion | grep '<' which
returned no out of date ports. This may be accurate, as the box has a
minimum of ports installed. However, I don't know if this is accurate
WRT out of date ports. My last update was July 22nd; no abnormal
behavior then.

Thank you for your attention, and best regards,
