- Because of portupgrade had a bug with detecting of Berkley DB version 2+,

- don't work with old databases. A quick fix is removing the databases:
- `rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db /usr/ports/INDEX*.db'. portupgrade will recreate
- them automaticaly. It's absolutely no harm.

- If you don't want remove the databases you should detect what database

- - run `pkgdb -fu' *before* upgrading and take a look on the output.

You can see database format there as: format:XXX, where XXX is your
current database format.
- Go to portupgrade port directory and configure the port with
- `make config' command. If you have bdb_* format then turn on BDB4 option,
- if you have bdb1_* format then turn off BDB4 and turn on BDB1 option.
