Hello,
    I just cvsupped my ports tree and tried to remake the index. I am
getting an index generation error. I then tried make fetchindex which worked
and again tried to regenerate the binary index with again this error. Any
help appreciated. I didn't get any errors during cvsup and i don't use a
refuse file. Also, this did work as of yesterday.
Thanks.
Dave.

********************************************************************
Before reporting this error, verify that you are running a supported
version of FreeBSD (see http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/) and that you
have a complete and up-to-date ports collection.  (INDEX builds are
not supported with partial or out-of-date ports collections -- in
particular, if you are using cvsup, you must cvsup the "ports-all"
collection, and have no "refuse" files.)  If that is the case, then
report the failure to ports at FreeBSD.org together with relevant
details of your ports configuration (including FreeBSD version,
your architecture, your environment, and your /etc/make.conf
settings, especially compiler flags and WITH/WITHOUT settings).

Note: the latest pre-generated version of INDEX may be fetched
automatically with "make fetchindex".
