And, if it doesn't?

Was running beta8.  Tried to upgrade to beta11.  Got the
"outdated/opened readonly" error.  Doing the deinstall/pkg-static
command above gave the same error the first time it was run.  The
second time it returned successfully but there was 0 output.

Now, running the "pkg-static info" command from the workdir gives the
exact same "outdated/readonly" error.

Is there anyway to recover the database?  Especially considering that
/var/db/pkg/ is blank except for the local.sqlite file.
