My hard drive accidently crashed the other day,
and it only had /var on it. However, I managed
to recover most everything except for /var/db.

Now since the package information was stored there,
it got deleted. Is there anyway that I can have
FreeBSD search for the packages that I installed
and re-create the package information in /var/db?

Thank you.
