>From "man portupgrade"...
1) Try a "pkgdb -fu"
2) If it doesn't work, remove the database file at
(/var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db) and
3) Rerun "pkgdb -fu"
Hope this helps...

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.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Joshua Lewis
