Well, after doing a "make describe" in /usr/ports, it barfs with:

As soon as I delete /usr/ports/database/namazu2, and run make describe
again, it gets farther. I tried to assemble a list on my laptop
recently, and so far I had on it:

I believe that recently broken too with other ports coming out.

Okay, I tried upgrading to 4.9 (p4 I believe), and run it again. Same
problem, so I don't think it depends on the BSD version.

I'm clueless... all I can think of is to systematically remove "broken
ports" and to run make index on that reduced set. Since upgrading to 4.9
doesn't help, I have no clue what to try next. 

Any pointers as what to try are appreciated. I should have a bit more
time the next couple weeks to dig into this.

Thanks,
Frank
