It looks like a problem with /var/db/pkg.  You have time to wipe
/var/db/pkg and remove all ports?  Try portmanager before you wipe your =20
ports and db.

Have you cd /usr/ports && mkae fetchindex?

chmod error?  Are you root or what?

Don't do pkgdb unattended, you may need to answer questions.  You could =20
skip all this index stuff if you use portmanager.  But you need
/var/db/pkg in good condition to use pormanager, I think?
