You probably have to clean it up.
I would do this:
- use the list of old-style packages in /var/db/pkg, together
with the output of pkg info, to generate a list of
packages that you need after clean up.
My list looks like this, approx. 2000 entries:
-------------
[...]
devel/automake
devel/automake-wrapper
devel/automoc4
devel/binutils
devel/bison
[...]
-------------
- Then build all the packages from your list via poudriere,
and generate a repo of all those up2date packages.
- Then (this is dangerous, if done via remote, keep a few
ssh sessions running in parallel, if one fails):
mkdir /usr/local/OLD
cd /usr/local
mv * OLD/
- Now no packages are installed
- re-add all the packages, restore the config from OLD/...
Ugh.
I didn't setup this server to begin with. I recall, a
while back, instructions for switching to pkgng. Is that what wasn't
done?
Yes, something like that.
Should I run pkg2ng now? Would that help?
