--- Comment #4 from Baptiste Daroussin <bapt@FreeBSD.org> ---
the fact that the new db is smaller means nothing, the original one has lived
for a while and may benefit from a vaccum for example to release free blocks if
needed.

xzcat /var/backups/pkg.sql.xz | pkg shell

is the right way to retore a corrupted db.
