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:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /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,
If you know what packages files were being modified at the time (the
ones that live inside /var/db/pkg, but aren't pkgdb.db), you can zap the
actual files with little consequence. Don't forget to revive the files
though by either executing make package/package-recursive (the Makefile
method), pkg_add, or portupgrade's method.
Cheers,
-Garrett
