If you use a "-a" option with pkg_delete, it deletes *ALL* installed
packages. You'll have to build your ports up again.

This is the latest version of 4.X series, 4.6 is a snapshot of the
4-stable line, and the 4-stable line is now in the throes of mutating
into 4.7.
This looks like you've upgraded your system to -stable at least once;
either that or your kernel and userland are out-of-sync. I'd suggest
that you try your buildworld again (now that you've removed all
installed ports).
