Error: cannot read index file "/usr/ports/INDEX-11"

R

runix

Folks,

I upgraded my box from FreeBSD 11.2 to 12.0. But upon rebooting, and typing
freebsd-version I get 12.0-RELEASE-p1 but when I type uname -mrs it says, [/CMD]FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p7 amd64[/CMD]. When I try to psearch I get this error.
Code: 
Error: cannot read index file "/usr/ports/INDEX-11"

I followed the instructions up here.

Could somone shed some light on what am I missing or my mistake?
 
Well, you have upgraded FreeBSD, the operating system. The ports system is separate from the operating system. Have you done anything to it?
normally you would use # portsnap fetch and # portsnap update (or # portsnap extract if this is a new partition, ie. empty /usr/ports)
Using a INDEX-11 file with FreeBSD 12.x seems wrong, I'm guessing it should be INDEX-12. Perhaps a # portsnap update will fix that, if you have an existing ports tree in /usr/ports. Note: I haven't tested it, YMMV.
