pkg2ng question -- fails to show converted pkgs in stats

[Jeffrey Bouquet]

TOP POSTED SORRY
Moot point on this machine, vs others , probably; also, part of the message below was wrong.
they are only installed if desinstalling from the port subdirectory and not thru package IIRC
WORKAROUND:
meanwhile I copied a local.sqlite from a more recent machine to the failed pkg2ng one

and 
pkg delete -n -g "a*" | grep -v  requested | grep -v  operation | grep -v REMO| grep -v Reinstall

| xargs -J % pkg install -f %

"dry runs" the a* reinstalls, and -y after -f actually performs...  
takes much  longer though ,  tuning for disk space, ... unwanted reinstalls... etc

 v9 
 pkg2ng converts, the local.sqlite is huge...
 
 but pkg stats ... no installed packages.
 
 If one wants to desintall them, they are installed... if one
 wants to install them, they
 are not installed yet, whereas they were converted so
 are...
 
 Some other command to run maybe?  Or pkg2ng is not just
 not reliable yet?
