Ten lost ports is easy enough to do by hand - look what packages miss their contents and find them in the ports tree.

Re: Pkg_info corrupt for some packages
Hello,
I tried running the script suggested by mel and after that I was able to see
that some of those packages got registered as installed.
However some of the packages were not being found and as an example I saw
the following:
Restoring doodle-0.6.6_1
Failed: cannot find doodle-0.6.6_1 in /usr/ports/INDEX-7*
*Then as suggested by andrew I tried to see just how many packages have been
messed and to my shock the figure for the first command was 336 and for the
second command was 326.
Well...how do I 'extract the port origins' from pkgdb.db?I am sorry if I
sound naive but im a bit new to freebsd.
Hope to hear from you guys,

Well, that explaines it right there. It wasn't installed properly, because
every installed port should have a +CONTENTS file.
You can grab the files from 'pkgdb.db' like Andrew suggested, but I personally
wouldn't trust those if portupgrade was the one that did this in the first
place.
This is where daily backups rock :).
If your /usr/ports/INDEX-6 (or -7) is in sync with your installed packages,
then maybe the following script will work. It worked for me testing it, but I
can't guarentee it will work in all cases.
If you're on FreeBSD 6, change INDEXFILE to /usr/ports/INDEX-6. Rest should
work without changes.
#!/bin/sh
INDEXFILE='/usr/ports/INDEX-7'
for dir in /var/db/pkg/*; do
if test ! -e ${dir}/+CONTENTS -a -d ${dir}; then
pkgname=${dir##*pkg/}
echo "Restoring ${pkgname}"
IDX=$(grep "^${pkgname}|" ${INDEXFILE} 2>/dev/null)
if test -z "${IDX}"; then
echo "Failed: cannot find ${pkgname} in ${INDEXFILE}"
else
_origin=${IDX#*|}
origin=${_origin%%|*}
echo "---> ${origin}"
cd ${origin}
mv ${dir} /tmp/
make -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER generate-plist fake-pkg
for file in /tmp/${pkgname}/*; do
f=${file##*/}
if test ! -f ${dir}/${f}; then
echo "--> Restoring ${pkgname}/${f}"
mv ${file} ${dir}/
fi
done

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.

Find out how many packages lost their contents:
ls /var/db/pkg/*/?COMMENT|wc -l
ls /var/db/pkg/*/?CONTENTS|wc -l
Last time portupgrade removed all contents on my box, I had to
extract port origins from pkgdb.db, then
mkdir /var/db/pkg-old/
mv /var/db/pkg/* /var/db/pkg-old/
for i in origins; do
cd /usr/ports/$i && make install
done

Re: Pkg_info corrupt for some packages
Hi,
Well...I tried to cut and paste the command as is by mel (though It would
have been better if you explained what that cryptic looking command actually
meant) and I got the followinfg output:
'grep: /var/db/pkg/xorg-server-1.4_4,1/+CONTENTS: No such file or directory
egrep: Unmatched ( or \('
Then as suggested by leslie I issued a command '*pkgdb -F*' and on that I
got the following on the terminal :
'-- --> Checking the package registry database' and the I was back at the
prompt.
So I am wondering if theres a way to repair those packages somehow...cuz if
I delete it before re installing the I would be jeopardizing the packages
which are dependent on these packages and I do not know if reinstalling them
without actually removing them first creates duplicates or not.
Hope to hear from you guys about this.
Regards,
Aijaz Baig.
