Corrupt pkgdb
I am setting up a new system and ran a portupgrade -a. Unfortunately I also in my arrogance tried to run XDM while the portupgrade was running. Well to make a long story short I could not exit out of XDM and get back to my console and had to reboot the system. Now I get an error that my pkgdb is corrupt when I try to rerun the portupgrade. Is there a way to rebuild that DB or do I have to reinstall the whole OS? I don't know how that pkgdb gets created so I don't know if it is created during the install or when I installed portupgrade.
