    I think the problem is situated in your /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db and not in
    any index-file of your portstree. Have you tried to remove the
    /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db file and rebuilding it with 'pkgdb -vF' ?
    (Well, move the file to somewhere else before deleting it ofcourse :-))

    I'm not sure if that's the problem, but I recall having a similar
    problem once (the ruby-errors) and this solved it. Don't know what
    caused it though.
