[Updating the pkgdb in /var/db/pkg ... Inappropriate file type or format - /var/db/pkg/pkgdb; rebuild needed] [Rebuilding the pkgdb in /var/db/pkg ... - 435 packages found (-0 +435) ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... done] ---> Backing up the old version [Updating the pkgdb in /var/db/pkg ...

Is this a bug or a feature ? What can be done to suppress this behavior of portupgrade -a ?
