[James Hong]

added
 /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf

  ENV['PKG_DBDRIVER'] = "bdb_hash" 
  ENV['PORTS_DBDRIVER'] = "bdb_hash"

James,


Kent Stewart explained what to do and how that came on 11/2/04 subject
  "portupgrade core dump fix".



Maybe it should have considered a security problem, as it is such a

When will 4.11 released? :-) I suppose this bug is fixed in 4.11.


Kind Regards,
Benjamin
