I meant the registry of installed ports, the much more complex one to restore.

Ouch, that's what you get from depending on "internal" software and not on 
something stable provided by the host :)
I sure hope they're working to fix what they broke!

Portindex is for indexing the available ports in a ports tree; is it also used 
to maintain the (sqlite) reqistry of what ports are actually installed? Fixing 
a broken portindex through a port update will be tricky, if the breakage is 
serious enough, btw.

What module and update were that? I have only updated base, but not done the 
usual selfupdate/upgrade outdated (since a long time, actually), so I should 
have noticed this before if it's not a recent update.
