Deleted /var/db/pkg, gnome_upgrade aborts

Fri Aug 4 06:16:23 UTC 2006

I rebuilt the pkgdb.db  but all the other files are gone...
Now portupgrade  thinks  no  packages  are installed.
gnome-upgrade.sh aborts  because it cannot handle  'nilclass'  string.

Any tips to  get back  my  list  of installed packages,  or get
gnome_upgrade to  run?

Please  cc to  me as  I'm  not  subscribed.
