I only considered the following aspect: "If somebody requests changing an existing database, and the database does not exist, an error message is required." But you are right that the only context where changing an existing database makes sense in the first place is installing and deinstalling software - that is, pkg_add(1)-like tools. I don't like useless knobs either (and if something makes sense in theory, but has no practical use, it is useless). So i will test sthen@'s original diff and check it by more thoroughly inspecting the surrounding code, then (probably) provide an OK unless i find additional issues. Yours, Ingo
