 Following advice on the Problem HotList I was trying to repair a corrupt
 file_map.db file with repairfilemap.2.tcl.  Followed instructions to the
 letter; ran script -> file_map created and then renamed existing .db file.
 However, when port command invoked in order to get port to convert old
 style file to db format, port fails like so:

  # sudo port deactivate R

 --->  Deactivating R
 Converting file map to new format (this may take a while)
 Error: port deactivate failed: Is a directory


 When port is invoked using the provides option it fails more verbosely
 like so:

 # sudo port provides /opt/local/etc/lynx.cfg

 Converting file map to new format (this may take a while)
 Is a directory
     while executing
 "filemap set file_map [lindex $f 0] [lindex $f 1]"
     (procedure "open_file_map" line 42)
     invoked from within
 "open_file_map 1"
     (procedure "receipt_flat::file_registered" line 4)
     invoked from within
 "${macports::registry.format}::file_registered $file"
     (procedure "registry::file_registered" line 3)
     invoked from within
 "registry::file_registered $file"
     (procedure "action_provides" line 13)
     invoked from within
 "$action_proc $action $portlist [array get global_options]"
     (procedure "process_cmd" line 92)
     invoked from within
 "process_cmd $remaining_args"
     invoked from within
 "if { [llength $remaining_args] > 0 } {

     # If there are remaining arguments, process those as a command
     set exit_status [process_cmd $remaining..."
     (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 3676)


 I also tried the older version of the script to no avail though,
 interestingly enough, the file_map file created was identical to that
 created by the newer version.
