OK, so I update my ancient -current box and then realise I have to
update all my packages too..
No problem except I get funky stuff like ->
[guppy 23:02] /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade >sudo portupgrade windowmaker-0.65.1_1
[Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 98 packages found (-61
+4) (...)(? mkisofs-1.15.a21)(? sysutils/pkg_tarup).... done]
anonymous: Not in due form: <name>-<version>
Hmm..
OK, lets do some package deletion manually..
[guppy 23:03] /var/db/pkg >sudo pkg_delete mozilla-headers-1.0.rc1_1,1
pkg_delete: package 'mozilla-headers-1.0.rc1_1,1' doesn't have a prefix
OK, maybe -f will work
[guppy 23:03] /var/db/pkg >sudo pkg_delete -f mozilla-headers-1.0.rc1_1,1
pkg_delete: package 'mozilla-headers-1.0.rc1_1,1' doesn't have a prefix
[guppy 23:03] /var/db/pkg >ls -la /var/db/pkg/mozilla-headers-1.0.rc1_1,1

Guess not.
Now what do I do? :)
Ahh, hmm.. guess that zero length +CONTENTS might have something to do with it.
Yech, wonder how that happened :(
Lots of my ports appear to be damaged the same way :(
