Perhaps the problem is that one or more of the pkg's doesn't have a +COMMENT file at all. Try this: # cd /var/db/pkg # find . -type d -mindepth 1 -print | sed -e 's,$,/+COMMENT,' | xargs t= ouch -a However, if there's a pkg installed on your system without a +COMMENT file, either you're running a pretty old system, or you've somehow installed a really old pkg. You should probably just delete and re-install any pkgs showing this symptom. Other than that, you can try running 'pkgdb -Fvu' (from the portupgrade(1) port) which should go a long way towards fixing any prolems in the package DB. If that fails, then it's a case of manual inspection of the whole /var/db/pkg tree to see if you can spot what is out of place.
