asking - both of these are broken in some way. Reposting:

For example if i try to run "portversion" i get:

  undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass
  /usr/local/sbin/portversion:239: [BUG] Bus Error

from Ruby (ruby 1.8.5 is up to date on the system).

If i try to run "pkg_info" I quickly get:

  pkg_info: read_plist: bad command '@conflicts apache+ipv6-1.*'

(i googled for similar problems and there were a few other reports

of this, with other packages, but no suggestion of how to fix them.)

I manually updated Ruby and portupgrade (by updating my ports
tree and going into their /usr/ports directories and doing make install)
with no change.

This is what i am trying to solve.

Thanks.
