Ever since a recent cvsup of ports and a portsdb -Uu, portupgrade
has been giving the following error:

I have tried:
- Waiting a day and doing another cvsup
- Doing make index / portsdb -Uu
- Removing ruby and portupgrade and reinstalling
but I still get the same error.
I also searched the mailing list archives and found someone with a
very similar error:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2003-May/001255.html
however, I've already learnt my lesson about refusing ports, and so
my sup/refuse contains only:
ports/INDEX
ports/INDEX-5
Anyone have any other ideas?
