Package database problems

[Paul Schmehl]

That's the problem. The package that installed that file is not installed. 
Nor is the file in the location pkg complains about. Yet, it still 
complains of a conflict and refuses to install the package I'm trying to 
install.

For example, I tried to upgrade devel/oniguruma. It complained about a 
conflict with oniguruma5, specifically /usr/local/bin/onig-config. That 
file does not exist, nor is onigurum5 installed.

I wish there was a pkg command like rebuild-db that would iterate through 
/var/db/pkg and create a valid local.sqlite file that registers the 
packages currently existing on the server.
