I made sure all 3 places had the some /PKG_DBDIR=/usr/pkg/pkgdb in them.

I did the 'manual merge' from /var/db/pkg and /var/db/pkg.refcount to
/usr/pkg/pkgdb and /usr/pkg/pkgdb.refcount.  I removed the older
versions of duplicates in /usr/pkg/pkgdb.  I removed the old /var/db/pkg
and /var/db/pkg.refcount directories.

I ran the script with 'check' and it found no problems.

I ran the script with 'migrate' and it reported no problems after
running.

pkg_admin check complains about failing md5 checksums for a variety of
things including the libffi that's been an issue all through this.

pkg_admin rebuild-tree complains about not being able to read the
+CONTENTS of gdk-pixbuf2-2.40.0nb2

pkgin appears to update and appears to install e.g., vim but vim does
not get installed, isn't in /usr/pkg/bin, it still doesn't appear to
actually do anything.


What do I investigate or try next?

Thanks,
Bruce
