portupgrade index generation error

[dave]

Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestion, but i am still getting a
problem. Again it's not failing with any one particular package, that part
seems to be random, but just before the failure i am getting the message:
"error junk pointer to high to make sense"
and then it stops. I have never seen an error like this.
    Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Dave.
