    I have had a refuse file that excludes the language ports for years in
    4-STABLE and 5-STABLE, without bothering to set IGNORE_CATEGORIES. I
    keep adding new languages as they show up. Portupgrade doesn't care.
    cd /usr/ports/; make index; will show some errors, but that is purely
    cosmetic.

    Look elsewhere for your problem. I would suggest you start by deleteing
    portupgrade and ruby ports and reinstalling them.
