+
+ portsdb(1) is part of the portupgrade suite and is used to convert a ports
+ INDEX file to a binary INDEX.db database. By default, it uses the libc-builtin
+ berkeley db to do so, which has a buggy btree implementation.
+
+ If you see errors like "[BUG] Segmentation fault" while a portsdb update is
+ in progress, adjust the PORTS_DBDRIVER variable (in your environment or in
+ pkgtools.conf) to either bdb_hash or bdb_btree (the latter requires you to install
+ the sysutils/ruby-bdb port).
