That's the problem. The package that installed that file is not installed.=20 Nor is the file in the location pkg complains about. Yet, it still=20 complains of a conflict and refuses to install the package I'm trying to=20 install. For example, I tried to upgrade devel/oniguruma. It complained about a=20 conflict with oniguruma5, specifically /usr/local/bin/onig-config. That=20 file does not exist, nor is onigurum5 installed. I wish there was a pkg command like rebuild-db that would iterate through=20 /var/db/pkg and create a valid local.sqlite file that registers the=20 packages currently existing on the server. --On November 16, 2017 at 12:39:47 PM -0600 Adam Vande More=20 <amvandemore@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Thu, Nov 16, 2017 at 12:22 PM, Paul Schmehl <pschmehl_lists@tx.rr.com> > wrote: > > > > I'm having problems with my package database.
