It is possible you have crossed wires about where your pkgdb is. I suggest you read carefully: https://www.pkgsrc.org/pkgdb-change/ and look around in your filesystem and see the script and be super careful. You may also want to update pkgin. I have no idea how old your installed packages are. As I said before, having some packages old,and especially very old, is asking for trouble because essentially nobody who contributes to pkgsrc does is that way. > 'pkg_admin check' gives a lot of errors to the effect of: > > pkg_admin: libreoffice-7.5.1.2: File > `/usr/pkg/libreoffice-7.5.1.2/lib/libreoffice/sha > re/extensions/dict-is/license.txt' is in +CONTENTS but not on filesystem! > > but mentions no other packages, just libreoffice. So your installed libreoffice is broken. I suggest 'pkgin rm libreoffice' to get to a safer that. > 'pkg_info -a' gives a long list of packages that looks like what I have > installed. Also check if you hvae /usr/bin/pkg_info and /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_info both and if they print the same thing. > If I try to do: 'pkgin install libreoffice' it now offers to install it, > without the libsdtc++ error it was giving before, but due to the 'empty > package list' error I have not done that yet, figuring there's a bigger > issue to resolve. Try also "pkgin sk" and "pkgin -n upgrade".
