DES, you hit the jackpot. Since there is no man page for the pkg backup command, I was unaware of the -f option, though I should have, at least, thought to try . As it turned out, I did not need to restore the the db. Just get pkg reinstalled. I am still confused as to the sqlite DB that I know I have looked at in the past. I thought that it was in /var/db/pkg, but it is not there... just distfiles. I figure that the database has to be somewhere. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkober...@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
