Hi.

Unfortunately I didn't see this before trying portmaster on a machine.
I ran portmaster -L and it said that six ports were out of date which
sounded right since I've been working on putting the machine together
recently and I had a recent ports tree. I ran portmaster -a and let it
do it's thing, however afterwards there are a lot of corrupted package
infos (pasted below). 

Only 28 of 450+ come up as corrupted however I'm not sure how to fix
them as I've never had corrupted package data before.
In /var/db/pkg/name on the corrupted ones, some directories are
entirely empty (such as portmaster, intltool, ghostscript-gpl, etc
which portmaster was trying to update) and others such as gimp and vlc
are missing +CONTENTS files even though they weren't being updated.

Are there any quick fixes for this? If not, what's the best way to
proceed? This is on an older slower machine (900MHz) that I've been
compiling on for the last few days and it was just about all ready to
go, so I'd rather not have to recompile a bunch of ports if at all
possible.

Thanks a lot in advance.

P.S. Sorry about the paste, some lines wouldn't fit correctly.
