I deleted all ruby ports (as I got from pkg_info) and I also fetch
/usr/ports/INDEX-/ by makeing make index and by make fetchindes (both
get the same results). But I still get the same error.
What do you mean exactly with "I would delete portupgrade and ruby\*
and then rebuild everything including the index.db."? The same as I
did?
