Several last tries to use portupgrade gave me this error:
Code:

Can you help me to rescue the portuprade system?
 
This is one of the reasons why I stopped using ports-mgmt/portupgrade a long time ago. Those databases are so easy to corrupt.

Hopefully this fixes it: rm /usr/ports/INDEX-10.db and pkgdb -uf
 
Well, I do not have /usr/ports/INDEX-10.db and pkgdb -uf doesn't create it. And the problem persists.
