okay the second run comes up with the follow:

# /usr/local/bin/portindex
Checking ports tree for changes. Abort with CTRL-C.
Updating portinfo for /usr/ports/archivers/pear-Archive_Tar
  Master port is /usr/ports/devel/pear-PEAR

also on another machine I am seeing this happening after running portindex
then portsdb -u  - I get hundreds of lines like this:

/usr/ports/INDEX:1742:Port info line must consist of 10 fields.
/usr/ports/INDEX:1743:Port info line must consist of 10 fields.
/usr/ports/INDEX:1744:Port info line must consist of 10 fields.
/usr/ports/INDEX:1745:Port info line must consist of 10 fields.
/usr/ports/INDEX:1746:Port info line must consist of 10 fields.

any clues why?

cheers,

Noah
