Well, that explaines it right there. It wasn't installed properly, because
every installed port should have a +CONTENTS file.
You can grab the files from 'pkgdb.db' like Andrew suggested, but I personally
wouldn't trust those if portupgrade was the one that did this in the first
place.
This is where daily backups rock :).
If your /usr/ports/INDEX-6 (or -7) is in sync with your installed packages,
then maybe the following script will work. It worked for me testing it, but I
can't guarentee it will work in all cases.
If you're on FreeBSD 6, change INDEXFILE to /usr/ports/INDEX-6. Rest should
work without changes.
#!/bin/sh
INDEXFILE='/usr/ports/INDEX-7'
for dir in /var/db/pkg/*; do
if test ! -e ${dir}/+CONTENTS -a -d ${dir}; then
pkgname=${dir##*pkg/}
echo "Restoring ${pkgname}"
IDX=$(grep "^${pkgname}|" ${INDEXFILE} 2>/dev/null)
if test -z "${IDX}"; then
echo "Failed: cannot find ${pkgname} in ${INDEXFILE}"
else
_origin=${IDX#*|}
origin=${_origin%%|*}
echo "---> ${origin}"
cd ${origin}
mv ${dir} /tmp/
make -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER generate-plist fake-pkg
for file in /tmp/${pkgname}/*; do
f=${file##*/}
if test ! -f ${dir}/${f}; then
echo "--> Restoring ${pkgname}/${f}"
mv ${file} ${dir}/

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
