Hi pkg@FreeBSD.org
Summary: Can we please put a more human friendly printf at line below ***
With a 2 month old current, mostly upgraded to new current
uname -a
FreeBSD lapr.js.berklix.net 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #0: Mon Aug 31 13:22:54 CEST 2020 jhs@lapr.js.berklix.net:/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
cat .svn_revision 364986
cat .ctm_status src-cur 14656
& with a few src/ bits being nursed through make, fixed & rebuilt,
in parallel (being impatient, & not being stable enough to yet run
mergemaster to upgrade /etc ) I ran pkg upgrade
& got a too opaque error message:
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...

assert(strcmp(uid, p->uid) != 0);
Mystifying for anyone but a programmer with time to search.
Would be nice if you could please make it more human friendly ?
to emit a message such as
/var/db/pkg/WHATEVER seems damaged, try fixing it with COMMAND
( Like rc mount fails suggests fsck ?
man pkg doesnt have a suggestion to fix/ check/ preen the db,,
maybe theres some magic sqlite incantation one could quote from
/etc/rc or ? to man pkg )
I tried various things as below, no luck for a a while, but then
something there, or some fix I was doing in parallel to src/ make, fixed my pkg
repository.
I cant repeat the error sequence, but I did copy the entire /var while
broken for autopsy if you are interested )
Things I was trying for a while in parallel to fixing src/ make,
till something fixed my pkg
------------
alternate use of pkg-static to reinstall pkg
pkg delete pkg, pkg install pkg,
cd usr/ports/package/pkg ; make unistall, make install,
& foreach (my list of 500) pkg install $i
pkg autoremove
pkg: No packages installed. Nothing to do!
pkg upgrade

So eventually something seemed to have flushed & zeroed my list of 500
at least it's working again, so am reinstalling all 500.
Cheers,
