Lapo, please don't top post.
from man pkgdb(1):
-F
--fix Interactively fix the package registry database.
-u
--update Update or create the package database file pkgdb.db in
$PKG_DBDIR, which is /var/db/pkg by default.
Note: if the ports database files are stale, pkgdb will
automatically update them before proceding, so manual
updating is not mandatory.
