            Bug ID: 206563
           Summary: ports-mgmt/pkg Incorrectly reads the index of
                    installed packages.
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any

Output of pkg -vv

According to pkg help:
info           Displays information about installed packages
version        Displays the versions of installed packages

So they both produce information about installed packages. Please note that
info outputs more information than version, so should be more prone to corrupt
data.

However, pkg info does work correctly:

root at crayon2:~ # pkg info 
CharisSIL-4.114_1              Charis SIL TrueType font collection
CoinMP-1.8.3                   Optimization library with support for COIN-OR
CLP, CBC, and CGL
DoulosSIL-4.112_1              Doulos SIL TrueType font collection
GentiumBasic-110_3             Gentium Basic and Gentium Book Basic TrueType
fonts
GeoIP-1.6.9                    Find the country that any IP address or hostname
originates from
GraphicsMagick-1.3.23_2,1      Fast image processing tools based on ImageMagick
(...)

where pkg version fails:
root at crayon2:~ # pkg version
pkg: No valid entries found in '/usr/ports/INDEX-10'

It looks like they are reading the information about installed packages from
different places and pkg version fails when the port index is corrupted.
