I have reason to believe I've made some mistakes trying to run pkgdb -F to clean up a couple ports trees on different FreeBSD systems I run. I confess I've never fully understood how to answer some of the prompts during that process. Also though, my ports tree was formed before portupgrade/portinstall were available, so I have some ports that were installed via a simple "make install," some by portinstall/portupgrade, some I installed first with "make install" and then tried to upgrade with portupgrade, etc.
Is there a process I can run that will make the database consistent again so I can install/upgrade ports without error? I don't care if it takes two days to run. :-) I also know I may be asking the impossible here, but I figure it doesn't hurt to try.
