>Description:
	I have a hunc that 
	  [database version mismatch/bump detected] Permission denied
	might be the important hint here, but even removing the
	/var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db files does not make any difference.

	And removing /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db and then directly invoking
	portupgrade -a runs into exactly the same issue.
