I've seen no responses,
I got a response off list suggesting that I simply remove pkgdb.db and
call portupgrade which would rebuild it.
I tried that (well I renamed pkgdb.db) and things seemed to go well
for a few seconds, but portupgrade then barfed at the portsdb.db
file. So I fixed that with
portsdb -F
and then running portupgrade seems to have done the right thing and
all is well at the moment.
First off, what does `file /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db` report?
You must have missed that I had that information in my original post.
And have you looked at pkgdb(5)? I'm only guessing, but
maybe `pkgdb -aF` for starters,
I also had the output of pkgdb -v -F in my original post. But I do
see that the formating of my post made that difficult to see.
Anyway, thank you for your help. Everything seems to be going well at
the moment.
Cheers,
