index generation error

Hi,

I've had an index generation error for a couple of days. I'm running
the standard supfile for ports, and cvsup'ing from  a local mirror.
I have no refuse files and always cvsup ports-all.

>From uname -a:

5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Wed Nov 17 12:14:30 EST 2004

>From /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile:

*default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix

>From /etc/make.conf:

SUPFLAGS=       -g -L 2
SUPHOST=        cvsup.au.FreeBSD.org
CPUTYPE?=i686
COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe

Appended is the error output. I'm presuming a problem with the port
in question as the contents of the directory are:

% ls /usr/ports/textproc/p5-Sort-PolySort
README.html


cheers,

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not supported with partial or out-of-date ports collections -- in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