    Hi,

    Doing a "portupgrade -arR" rendered my system (esp. the parts that
    refer to ports/packages) more or less unusable.

    Here's what I did:

    System is running 4.9
    cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile
    pkgdb -F
    portsdb -Uu
    cd /usr/ports
    portupgrade -arR

    After some hours worth of CPU-time I ended with a lot of ports not
    been upgraded like e.g.

            ! graphics/png (png-1.2.5_2) (uninstall error)
            ! textproc/xmlcatmgr (xmlcatmgr-0.2_1) (uninstall error)
            ! textproc/sdocbook-xml (sdocbook-xml-4.1.2.5_1) (uninstall error)
            ! lang/ruby16-shim-ruby18 (ruby-shim-ruby18-1.8.0.p2.2003.04.19_1) (uninstall error)
            ! devel/libtool13 (libtool-1.3.5_1) (uninstall error)
            ! converters/libiconv (libiconv-1.9.1_1) (uninstall error)
            ! textproc/expat2 (expat-1.95.6_1) (uninstall error)
            ! archivers/lha (lha-1.14i_1) (uninstall error)
            ! textproc/py-expat (py23-expat-2.3_2) (unknown build error)
            ! graphics/jpeg (jpeg-6b_1) (uninstall error)
            ! textproc/docbook-sk (docbook-sk-4.1.2) (uninstall error)
            ! textproc/docbook-xsl (docbook-xsl-1.61.3_1) (uninstall error)
            ! graphics/tiff (tiff-3.5.7_1) (uninstall error)
            ! devel/gettext (gettext-0.12.1) (unknown build error)
            ! databases/ruby-bdb1 (ruby-bdb1-0.2.1) (uninstall error)
            ! graphics/lcms (lcms-1.09,1) (uninstall error)
            ! sysutils/portupgrade (portupgrade-20030723) (uninstall error)
            ! devel/libltdl (libltdl-1.5) (uninstall error)
            ! lang/guile (guile-1.6.4_2) (uninstall error)
            ! devel/pkgconfig (pkgconfig-0.15.0) (uninstall error)

    etc.etc.

    So I tried
    # pkgdb -F
    /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb:35:in `require': No such file to load -- pkgtools (LoadError)
            from /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb:35
    #
    and
    # portsdb -Uu
    /usr/local/sbin/portsdb:35:in `require': No such file to load -- pkgtools (LoadError)
            from /usr/local/sbin/portsdb:35
    #
    as well as
    # portversion
    /usr/local/sbin/portversion:35:in `require': No such file to load -- pkgtools (LoadError)
            from /usr/local/sbin/portversion:35
    #

    Please note that I've "portupgraded" my system with "-arR" several
    times in the past without any problems so far.

    BTW - I'm experiencing the same problems with another system that's
    running 5.2.1.

    Any pointer/help in order to get my system going again is very much
    appreciated!

    Thanks much in advance for your help,
    -ewald
