Just tried it again (cut and paste, not a typescipt output)
mts-128# pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/nulib-3.25/ mts-128# pkg_info /usr/ports/archivers/nulib/ pkg_info: can't find package 'nulib' installed or in a file! mts-128# cd /var/db/pkg mts-128# ls -la nulib* ls: No match. mts-128#
It seemed to work and didn't return an error
On the broken fileserver:
su-2.03# pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/nmap-2.53/ su-2.03# whereis nmap nmap: /usr/ports/security/nmap su-2.03# pkg_info security/nmap pkg_info: can't find package 'nmap' installed or in a file! su-2.03#
What's wrong with your "broken" fileserver? You deinstall a package, you use the whereis command and then you run pkg_info on something that doesn't exist. That's perfectly correct.
Here's mine:
-su-2.05b# whereis nmap
nmap: /usr/local/bin/nmap /usr/local/man/man1/nmap.1.gz /usr/ports/security/nmap
-su-2.05b# pkg_info security/nmap
pkg_info: can't find package 'nmap' installed or in a file!
-su-2.05b# pkg_info nmap
pkg_info: can't find package 'nmap' installed or in a file!
-su-2.05b# pkg_info nmap-3.30
Information for nmap-3.30:
Comment: Port scanning utility for large networks [snip out the rest of the description]
Your broken stuff doesn't tell us anything, really. What does "pkg_info" show you about everything you have installed?
Have happens in you try "portinstall nmap" which doesn't require a specific version?

P.S. Why are you not just using the package names for your pkg commands?
