[gentoo-user] rebuild /var/db/pkg

Hello, To make a long story short, I've lost db/pkg and I would like to rebuild.it . I only found two vero old posts : one in the forum (from 2007 or something) and another in the intertube by a lost gentoo user. Anyone is aware of some new info about this? Thanks in advance for this.
