Hi there, I have a remote -CURRENT box which i'd rather not src-update now (r248373, ca. March). Apparently it's recent enough to default to pkgng. I wanted to upgrade some ports of mine today, and installed my favorite portupgrade just to discover that it does not see any packages: it seems to fail to parse /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite (convert it to its own pkgdb.db) and reports that I have nothing installed. Usual dances with adding WITH_PKGNG to make.conf, pkgdb -fu et al. did not help. Any clues? One note: I have rather old version of pkg installed, pkg-1.0.7. I may try to forcibly deinstall it and reinstall from ports, but I want to be sure doing so won't render my existing package database unusable. Is it safe (and worth) thing to do? Thanks, ./danfe
