	You can't mix both pkgng and pkg_install, and looking at your /var/db/pkg, =
	you
	have mixed it for a while and you now have both the pkgng version and the
	pkg_install version half migrated to pkgconf and inconsistent.

	As I don't the the manipulation you have exactly done, and the exact state =
	of
	your system, it is hard for me to tell you how to recover.

	In any case this as nothing to do with portmaster.
	if you decide to fully go the pkgng way what I do suggest is:

	remove all the directories from /var/db/pkg (keeping only the local.sqlite =
	file)
	then run=20

	echo "delete from deps where origin=3D'devel/pkg-config'; update deps set o=
	rigin=3D'devel/pkgconf', name=3D'pkgconf', version=3D'0.8.4' where origin=
	=3D'devel/pkg-config';" | pkg shell

	I tested with your database this seems to work.

	after that you can upgrade safely everything.

	Remember, do not mix pkg_install and pkgng, if you decide to go pkgng this =
	is a
	one shot migration.

I'll look at this later, but..

I've *never* once used pkg_install,
not even before pkgng. I switched
to pkgng quite early, and since
then I used exclusively pkg and
portmaster, nothing else.
So pkg_install must've been called
by either pkg or portmaster.

One possibility is that I didn't always
apply the pkgng portmaster patch correctly.

Thanks
