pkgdb.db locked

Hello.
When I run the command pkgdb -Fu, I get the response
[Rebuilding the pkgdb <format:dbm_hash> in /var/db/pkg ... can't convert
String into Integer: Cannot update the pkgdb!]
I think I know where I goofed, so here's the story on my suspected mistake.
I just upgraded from RELENG_5_4 to RELENG_6, which went fairly smooth.
I'm now upgrading my ports but I was foolish today and ran portupgrade
without first reading /usr/ports/UPDATING. I think this is the source
of my problem (as in, running the command. Of course not reading
UPDATING is another problem! but I don't need help with that).
So, I first ran
portupgrade -arR
portupgrade did not upgrade linux_base-8 and instead reported that it
was marked as IGNORE and to use linux_base-fc-4. So, I ran the commands
cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-8
make deinstall
cd ../linux_base-fc-4
make install clean
This it did fine, but when I now try to run pkgdb -Fu, I get the
following output:
[Rebuilding the pkgdb <format:dbm_hash> in /var/db/pkg ... can't convert
String into Integer: Cannot update the pkgdb!]
I then read /usr/ports/UPDATING, saw that linux_base-8 was dropped and
replaced by linux_base-fc-4.
So, I then did the suggested command.
portupgrade -f -o emulators/linux_base-fc4 linux_base\*
This produced
[Rebuilding the pkgdb <format:dbm_hash> in /var/db/pkg ... [Rebuilding
the pkgdb <format:dbm_hash> in /var/db/pkg ... ** Database file locked.
Waiting.
** Timeout. Lock looks dead. Remove it.

from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:216:in `main'
from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:2048
I've googled for the phrase 'pkgdb "Lock looks dead"' and various
combinations of the output hoping to learn how to unlock pkgdb.db but
with no luck. Plus, I cannot locate pkgdb.dg with
ls -a /var/db/pkg
My questions are: How do I remove the lock on pkgdb? Where does
pkgdb.db go when its locked? find does not locate it. I ran
find / pkgdb.db | grep pkgdb.db
find: pkgdb.db: No such file or directory
Also, if pkgdb.db was deleted, how do I rebuild the pkgdb.db? (pkgdb -f
does not rebuild pkgdb.db, I just checked)
The output of uname -a and ls /var/db/pkg are attached.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Lewis
