freebsd stable - Jul 2006 - Portupgrade failed - /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db: unexpected file type or format

I'm using FreeBSD 6.1-stable . Today I updated my ports tree using cvsup and
then I ran as usually portupgrade -a . It upgraded my portupgrade to version 
portupgrade-2.1.3.2,2. After that portupgrade stopped working.

Here is an error message:

[root@silicon /]# portupgrade -a
[Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> 
in /var/db/pkg ... /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db: unexpected file type or format --

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,

Dominik,

I've had the same today and thought it has been my mistake (doing a
pkg_version in parallel).

Just delete /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db and run `pkgdb -F' and all should
be fine. At least on my system I was able to rebuild pkgdb.db that
way and all is working again.

Greetings,

Volker

   Removing pkgdb.db and INDEX-6.db and then rebuilding them with
pkgdb and portsdb did the trick for me.
