portversion / ruby is broken after updating ports

[robg]

I update my ports every couple of days, and there were only a small
amount today that needed to be updated, so I ran the cvsup to update
ports file

I then typed `portsdb -Uu` and this came up:

server# portsdb -Uu
Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait..***
Error code 1
1 error

********************************************************************
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not supported with partial or out-of-date ports collections -- in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".

so I tried to run `portversion` and this came up:

server# portversion
[Updating the portsdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /usr/ports ... - 11735

What can I do? Why is ruby doing this now?

Thanks.
