Hi Dino,

Please try the following command:

pkgdb -F

That command will walk you through the package database, asking you to
fix any problems it finds.  If you run into any problems, please post a
follow-up to the list.

Regards,
Greg

Well,

I tried your suggestion, but here it didn't do anything:

#pkgdb -F
--->  Checking the package registry database
#

What now? I tried to deinstall one of them, but no luck:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/db/pkg/gtkmm-2.12.7]# pkg_deinstall gtkmm
** No matching package found.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/db/pkg/gtkmm-2.12.7]# cat +COMMENT

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/db/pkg/gtkmm-2.12.7]# cat +DESC
