Do you get this output only when using pkg_info as a regular user?
If so, take a look at the permissions on the directory and files in
/var/db/pkg/bsdpan-DBD-mysql-2.9003 et.al. If your umask is set at 077
when installing ports, this directory gets the wrong permission bits set.

I get this problem once in a while put it's solved doing:

find /var/db/pkg -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755
find /var/db/pkg -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644
