You'll just have to make do with trusty rm(1). In fact, there is only one file in the pkgdb that you can't easily replace by downloading a fresh copy. That's local.sqlite which is the database of what is actually installed on your system. Everything else you should be able to pull down again by a combination of 'pkg update -f' and 'pkg audit -f' However, to avoid unnecessary downloads, and assuming you have 'FreeBSD' and 'myrepo' repositories configured (check the output of 'pkg -vv' to confirm), then these are the files you should keep: FreeBSD.meta local.sqlite myrepo.meta repo-FreeBSD.sqlite repo-myrepo.sqlite vuln.xml That, at least is whay pkg(8) needs under /var/db/pkg. If you use portmaster(1) you'll find it does create some old-style pkgname-version sub directories. IIRC, the content there is not critical.
