Search the forums. This issue has been addresses several times in the past month.

There are at least three other threads on this subject.

There is an issue with the new ports command pkg_create -O that checks whether the port is already installed or not. There were issues with FreeBSD versions < 4.7 and some people have had problems on 5.x.

What is the exact version of FreeBSD you are using (output of uname -r)?? And how recently have you updated the ports tree?

Have you modified your KERNEL to include debugging? when was the last time you updated the source? Next time it Panics at the db> prompt type trace and post the output. If you are running -current try RELENG_5_1 it is more stable.

I updated my source one month ago.

From the error i would say the gdb IS running. Is this -current (i.e. does your source supfile use the "*default tag=."line)? if so do you have a reason to use current? Current is mostly for developers and should be avoided as it may work fine one hour and not the next. try "*default tag=RELENG_5_1" in your src_supfile. That is more stable than current and has less debugging turned on by default.

My cvsup file:
*default host=cvsup.fr.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_1_0
*default delete use-rel-suffix

# If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line.
*default compress

## Main Source Tree.
#
# The easiest way to get the main source tree is to use the "src-all"
# mega-collection. It includes all of the individual "src-*" collections.
src-all

I am working on 5.1-RELEASE.

Thx for your help
