I was using csh, the normal root shell that ships with FreeBSD. I tried 
with /bin/sh and it just finished with:

# portsdb -Uu

wait.."/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 2890: warning: duplicate script

It worked with csh before...any reason it should not now?

Stupid question, but does this mean I'm good to continue with 
portupgrade now? I see the warnings but it didn't say to run pkgdb -F or 
anything. I just don't want to screw anything up.

I figured it was not a widespread problem because I didn't see much 
about it, but I am fairly new to portupgrade and it said to report it, 
so I did.

Thanks again.
