Bug 256886: ports-mgmt/pkg pkg backup -r fails to restore local.sqlite
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=256886



--- Description ---
When using "pkg backup" to create backup file from installed packages and later
trying to restore, it fails. Backup itself works. Restore part fails.


root@fbsd:~ # uname -a

root@fbsd:~ # cp /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite_bak 
root@fbsd:~ # pkg backup -d pkg_backup.dump 
Dumping database:
Backing up: 100%   

root@fbsd:~ # rm /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite
root@fbsd:~ # cp pkg_backup.dump /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite 
root@fbsd:~ # pkg info

So the backup file itself is OK. Now trying to use "restore":

root@fbsd:~ # pkg backup -r pkg_backup.dump 
Restoring database:
Restoring: 100%
root@fbsd:~ # pkg info
pkg: sqlite error while executing ALTER TABLE packages ADD licenselogic INTEGER
