I was building a couple of packages, figured I'd do it while at work. I was using portupgrade, and accidentally hit enter before typing all the package paths. I quickly ctrl-c'ed to exit, forgetting that that should not be done while pkgdb is running. Now I get this error when I try to run pkgdb: [root@bombadil /usr/ports]# portupgrade -N editors/xemacs sysutils/screen www/lynx [Rebuilding the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 9 packages found (-0 +9) ......... done] [Gathering depends for editors/xemacs ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ done] [Gathering depends for sysutils/screen done] [Gathering depends for www/lynx .. done] It will check for dependancies for the packages I want to install, but it won't actually install them. I've tried: pkgdb -f pkgdb -af mv /var/db/pkgdb/pkgdb.db ~; pkgdb -af and always end up with the same build results. What is the next step? Thanks, -Jim Stapleton
