Hmmm... You have to be very specific about what you did before you tried
to install linux_devtools. Especially wrt to anything that modifies
/compat/linux.
A wild guess is that you used /compat/linux/bin/rpm by hand, which
caused the RPM database to be converted to the new and backward
incompatible format, and which broke the ability to use the FreeBSD
port...

This behaviour is supported by my wild guess.

You mean 2 other questions? :-)

I'd go for /compat/linux/bin/rpm in your case.
