10.4 release - is the binary update corrupt?

[Dr. Nikolaus Klepp]

Hi!

My notes suggest for this case:

pkg clean 			# cleans /var/cache/pkg/
rm -rf /var/cache/pkg/* 	# just remove it all
pkg update -f 			# forces update  of repository catalog
rm /var/db/pkg/repo-*.sqlite 	# removes all remote repository catalogs
pkg bootstrap -f 		# forces reinstall of pkg

Do NOT delete /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite! It contains the database with your installed packages. If you remove it the system will think you have nothing installed.
