Hi all
I am having a problem with pkgdb. The following error messages keep showing
when I try to install/update a package.
pkg_create: can't open pkgdb: Inappropriate file type or format
or
pkg_delete: cannot open /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.byfile.db: Inappropriate file type or format
I did a "pkg_admin rebuild", and even removed the db file, but the problem
still exists. How can I solve this? I interrupted a package update because I
saw it removing kde3 to install kde1. Could this cause the problem? Thanks.
