FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p20 (GENERIC) #0: Tue Jul 21 19:29:33 UTC 2015

Having completely scragged my ports area following various changes to 
pkg/pkgng/etc, and being unable to "sysinstall" it from CD (not found for 
some reason) or via FTP (not found on server etc), I found a pristine copy 
of ports.txz and unpacked it (sigh, yet another compression scheme), after 
renaming the old directory.

Anyway, what do I do now?  Assume that many ports have been installed, and 
that the databases etc are probably a dog's breakfast, per the conflicts 
that I have posted here earlier.  If it helps, I have a list of those 
ports that were installed, and hopefully the dependencies will be taken 
care of automagically.

Thanks.
