Thanks for the answer.
What exactly do you call the db ? /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db ? or the whole
directory /var/db/pkg ?
Upon examination it seems that some files disappeared with the crash.
Actually, some +CONTENTS files to be more precise. Which explains I can't do
anything with these ports.
If there was a way to build /var/db/pkg from scratch I'd be very
happy =) Else, I plan to retrieve the cvs ports files matching the versions of
the programs installed on my computer and reinstall them.
