Lapo, please don't top post.


from man pkgdb(1):

-F
     --fix	   Interactively fix the package registry database.


-u
     --update	   Update or create the package database file pkgdb.db in
		   $PKG_DBDIR, which is /var/db/pkg by default.

		   Note: if the ports database files are stale, pkgdb will
		   automatically update them before proceding, so manual
		   updating is not mandatory.
