ahh yes.. I've run across a msg or two mentioning this... but that was 
before I was trying to solve this problem so I was not paying close 
attention at the time.

I just tried it.  I did a fresh cvsup, then the 'make fetchindex' (which 
pulled something out of the ether)... and then a 'portsdb -u'.  The 
portsdb finished almost immediately and provided no output!? good? bad? 
dunno.  So I moved on to 'pkgdb -F' which went well. I am currently 
watching the portupgrade do its thing.  It takes a while because I have 
OpenOffice installed.  I'll post back with my results.

Thanks for the assistance.
