As Scot told you a while ago, your /var/db/pkg/* files are corrupt. To
fix this exact problem you need to do 'portmaster devel/dbus-glib'
which will rebuild the port and fix all the +CONTENTS files.
You should do this for each port that comes up with this problem. You
might also consider using the --check-depends option.
hope this helps,
Doug
