Fix the ‘missing key: categories: Cannot read the portsdb!’ for portupgrade

Filed under: fixes, gripe, unix — hoanga @ 11:06 pm

I ran into this exact problem when trying to upgrade a bunch of ports lying around on my FreeBSD system.

Luckily Well-Rounded documents the fix for this. You’ll have to upgrade portupgrade manually to rebuild its database with an updated version.
