Re: Problem with pkgdb
In order to solve the problem, I had to rebuild the ruby-bdb port. Sincerly yours.

One of the admins on one of our servers decided to delete the /var/db/pkg directory. I tried rebuilding it using pkfdb -Fu, and it returned nothing. Is there a way to recover from this...aside from backups? pkgdb -Fu scans the contents of /var/db/pkg to build its package database. Either use your backups, or re-install all of the ports you've got on that machine. However, that's harder to do than it sounds, as /var/db/pkg is what would be consulted to see exactly what ports are installed on the machine. On the plus side, losing /var/db/pkg doesn't affect the day to day operation of the system, so you can repair this at your leisure. Perhaps delegate the job of working out what ports were installed on that box to the admin who broke it, as an object lesson in the consequences of being too quick with the rm(1) command...
