Hello,

This is on a Pentium-II running FreeBSD 4.10R, portupgrade-20040701_3, 
ruby-1.8.2.p2_1, and ruby18-bdb1-0.2.2. Here is what I did:

$ pkgdb -F
$ cvsup ports-supfile
$ portsdb -Uu

And here is the output I get from portsdb:

Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait.. Done.
done
[Updating the portsdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /usr/ports ... - 11939 port 
entries found 
.........1000.........2000.........3000.........4000.........5000........
.6000.........7000.........8000....../usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/portsdb.rb:587: 
[BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-29) [i386-freebsd4]

Abort trap (core dumped)

I did a google search, and found a bunch of people had a similar problem 
(Bus Error, not Segmentation fault) in early September, but I didn't 
notice what (portupgrade/ruby/the ports tree) was actually the problem.

What really stumps me is that I have 2 other servers that have the same 
version of FreeBSD, Ruby and Portupgrade installed that work fine.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank You,

Tabor Kelly
