i have just updated my system to 5.3 frrom 4.9 and now every time i goto run portsdb , or portupgrade iget the same error message.and i also have a nother 5.3 box that was a fresh install of 5.3 thats getting the same error 
and i have cd into /ports and ran make fetchindex .. and im still getting the same error message 
and i also have just ran pkg_deinstall mozilla-gtk2 and i get this error here as well


I have checked this and iam doing a cvsup src all , and i have no refuse files in any one of the conf files IE: make.conf , pkgtools.conf 
(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not supported with partial or out-of-date ports collections -- in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.) 
and i have wiped out my intire ports tree IE: /usr/ports/*  , and recvsuped it 
with the same error showing up 


so what would be giveing me this exact same error on both boxes??
portsdb -Ufu

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not supported with partial or out-of-date ports collections -- in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".
