Hello,

Last couple of days, my portupgrading has not been working.

Cvsup works fine and finishes successfully.
When I try to portupgrade, it starts, and stays at this stage:

 Shutting down connection to server
Finished successfully
su-2.05b# portupgrade -x openoffice.org -a
[Updating the pkgdb <format:dbm_hash> in /var/db/pkg ... - 499 packages found (-3 +4) (...)
---------------------------------------------


I can see that it's working, as ruby18 is eating up CPU..

I've tried pkgdb -F, to no avail.

Basically it will work indefinitely. I've tried letting it run, but after 12 hours I stopped the process.


Any ideas?
