Issues with thunderbird port

As of today I've been getting the following error when attempting to run portupgrade:

Code:

I deleted portupgrade and thunderbird and then rebuilt them. (i.e. make all install clean) I noticed the same error at the beginning and ending of the thunderbird build process:

Code: 
===>   Registering installation for thunderbird-2.0.0.23
grep: write error: Broken pipe
grep: write error: Broken pipe
===>  Cleaning for thunderbird-2.0.0.23
grep: write error: Broken pipe

During the build the error appears to be non-fatal but to portupgrade it is. Anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it? Currently my only solution is to uninstall Thunderbird.
 
These errors aren't being seen on the build server as far as I can tell, and I can't reproduce them. What kind of system are you running?

I'm guessing that there may be a dependency or category that is unexpectedly empty in generating the installation information for thunderbird. You might want to check the dependencies of thunderbird; possibly one of them isn't installed or registered properly.
 
i think i've had similar problems when mixing both portupgrade and portmaster to install ports. could that be the case? might be pkgdb problems

I'm running a pretty ordinary FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE. I have not been able to go through and try to rebuild all the ports thunderbird depends on because its is a pretty long list.
 
if you haven't already, can you try running pkgdb tasks? -u update or -Ff to fix?
i'm not 100% sure if this is safe (someone?) but i had deleted the database from /var and rebuilt fresh, even deleted + reinstalled the portupgrade packages.
i think this is pkg tools issue , not thunderbird port.

edit : db file is @ /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db
back it up , deleted it, etc..

I deleted the /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db file and recreated it using pkgdb -u

I've also reinstall portupgrade.

Someone else asked if I've mingled portsnap and portupgrade. I have not.

I have noticed that I have four different versions of automake installed:
automake-1.10.1
automake-1.4.6_5
automake-1.6.3_1
automake-1.9.6_3

I would assume the automake wrapper can handle that?
