When I did a cvsup of ports-all, what I saw on a make index was the following

# make index
Generating INDEX - please wait..test: <: unexpected operator
Warning: Duplicate INDEX entry: freeciv-gtk2-1.14.1
Warning: Duplicate INDEX entry: fvwm-imlib-2.4.18
 Done.

It appears that "make index", which is what portsdb -U runs, doesn't like your 
setup. Do you have any ports that you refuse.

Since "make index" died, it is anybodys guess. When all of the problems 
occured, I added the following to /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf

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

I thought this problem was fixed but I was only vacation during that time and 
my email machine had a HD crash. Webmail didn't let me sort things out :).
