This shouldn't happen.  The buildworld target detects the current
version of your system, and bootstraps cap_mkdb if necessary:

: .if ${BOOTSTRAPPING} < 600015
: _cap_mkdb=      usr.bin/cap_mkdb
: .endif

BOOTSTRAPPING is defined as follows:

: .if !defined(OSRELDATE)
: .if exists(/usr/include/osreldate.h)
: OSRELDATE!=     awk '/^\#define[[:space:]]*__FreeBSD_version/ { print $$3 }' \
:                 /usr/include/osreldate.h
: .else
: OSRELDATE=      0
: .endif

That is, it's the value of __FreeBSD_version as defined in
/usr/include/osreldate.h.  If your /usr/include/osreldate.h
is lying about the current version, e.g. if you accidentally
installed the new headers, then you can force it to zero,
such as:

	make buildworld OSRELDATE=0
