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

        from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:1845

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?
