Lapo, please don't top post.


from man pkgdb(1):

-F
 --fix Interactively fix the package registry database.


-u
 --update  Update or create the package database file pkgdb.db in
   $PKG_DBDIR, which is /var/db/pkg by default.

   Note: if the ports database files are stale, pkgdb will
   automatically update them before proceding, so manual
   updating is not mandatory.
