Ooooooooooooooh dear
are there no recovery scripts - I lost my var partition - and the back up was 
overwritten by a blank db!!
I have a file listing of all the packages installed on the system - an output 
from pkg_info.
Do you happen to know if there is any way I can at least get that into the 
pkgdb?
