cvsup: Error code 1

[rtjohan at syspres.com]

For some reason the portupgrade / or make reinstall does not work on any 
of the outdated ports. Get the same error on all of them. Error code 1. 
I've tried:
  portsclean -C
  portsclean -DD
  make index
  portsdb -Ufu
  pkgdb -F

Nothing seems to get the ports back into shape. The whole cvsup / 
portupgrade -ra had been working for a while. Not sure what could have 
messed it up. Is there a way I can get all the necessary indexes / 
databases required by cvsup / portupgrade / pkg_add recreated? The only 
way I know how to fix this is to reinstall. There must be a better way. 
Any assistance or tips would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Richard
