make install, portupgrade, etc broken

[Tim Kellers]

Just tried it again (cut and paste, not a typescipt output)

mts-128# pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/nulib-3.25/
mts-128# pkg_info /usr/ports/archivers/nulib/
pkg_info: can't find package 'nulib' installed or in a file!
mts-128# cd /var/db/pkg
mts-128# ls -la nulib*
ls: No match.
mts-128#

It seemed to work and didn't return an error

On the broken fileserver:

su-2.03# pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/nmap-2.53/
su-2.03# whereis nmap
nmap: /usr/ports/security/nmap
su-2.03# pkg_info security/nmap
pkg_info: can't find package 'nmap' installed or in a file!
su-2.03#
