The /var/db/pkgs directory gets pretty big. Much of what is there are just
small files rather than symbolic links. I moved it
from the /var mount point and put it elsewhere. One way to acomplish this
is to do the following:
mkdir /usr/var.db.pkg
cd /var/db/pkg
pax -rwvpe * /usr/var.db.pkg
cd ..
mv pkg pkg-
ln -s /usr/var.db.pkg /var/db/pkg
rm -r pkg-
