Hey list, Back on the previous pkg_* system, I used portmaster to check my port integrity and dependencies: portmaster -y -v --clean-distfiles portmaster -y -v --check-depends portmaster -y -v --check-port-dbdir However, I noticed the new `pkg` command has its own `check` and `clean` commands. When I run both on the new pkgng format, it seemed to corrupt a database. Portmaster said things were installed when they weren't, and pkg threw some errors about packages. I don't have the exact errors anymore because i fixed it, but I'm wondering which set of commands would be best to use? I'd assume the pkg tools themselves, as portmaster is an external program.
