I think, that you can remove the contents of /var/db/pkgin and it will regenerate. The idea of "keep" packages is actually stored in the automatic=YES variable in the pkgdb.pkgin's database being re-created is normal, a pkgin update is enough to rebuild it based on the regular pkg database. So I think there is a problem there. Has pkg_admin rebuild/rebuild-tree been tried already?
Yes,the output when I attempt those is:
pkg_admin rebuild:
"pkg_admin: Package `openjdk17-1.17.0.6.10nb1' has no @name, aborting."
pkg_admin rebuild-tree:
pkg_admin: Dependency poppler-22.10.0{,nb*} of poppler-cpp-22.10.0 unresolved
pkg_admin: Dependency osabi-NetBSD-9.3 of x11-links-1.35 unresolved
pkg_admin: Dependency webkit-gtk>=2.36.8nb1 of liferea-1.12.8nb11 unresolved
Done.
So it seems the pkgin database is corrupted, do I have more issues with the
pkgdb to address as well based on those results?
Any ideas on where to look for solutions to the corrupted pkgin database
(or pointers on good directions to just properly remove all of pkgsrc and
cleanly start over)?
Thanks,
Bruce
