Packages Corrupted

[KP]

My first message is inaccturate, it seems all packages has the same problem.
For example:

# pkg_delete wget-1.8.2_6
pkg_delete: the package info for package 'pkg' is corrupt
pkg_delete: the package info for package 'pkg' is corrupt
pkg_delete: the package info for package 'pkg' is corrupt

# pkg_info | grep mysql
pkg_info: the package info for package 'pkg' is corrupt
mysql-client-4.0.21 Multithreaded SQL database (client)
php4-mysql-4.3.9    The mysql shared extension for php

Is it possible to remove all installed packages and start over? Thanks!
