>Description:
After an upgrade of ruby and ruby-bdb1 to the latest version in the ports (today) portupgrade is broken:

# portupgrade
/usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:35:in `require': No such file to load -- pkgtools (LoadError)
        from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:35

An strace showed that portupgrade does not find a file:

stat("/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-freebsd4/pkgtools.rb", 0xbfbff410) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

which is indeed not present in that directory.

>How-To-Repeat:
Upgrade to ruby that was in the ports on March 1.
>Fix:
Remove /usr/local/bin/ruby and make it a symlink to /usr/local/bin/ruby16 (if present) or reinstall portupgrade (and how are you going to do that without portinstall/portupgrade ;-). The case is that portupgrade installs pkgtools.rb, but because the ruby binary was upgraded from 1.6 to 1.8 it couldn't find pkgtools.rb anymore.
