Solved pkg (pkgng) reports all packages orphaned

F

fwyKKCkQze2z

On my pretty fresh install (10.1-RELEASE) I never used anything else than pkgng. It was working great until today.

Now, suddenly, pkg version reports all packages as "orphaned".

I have found "pkg version reports every package as orphaned when run from non-existant directory" [1] but I am running the pkg command from let's say /root.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to resolve this? I know what packages I have installed, so if this is the only option I could also run "pkg install" for all of them again. But I am not sure if that would even solve the problem...

Are you using your own repository? Can you post the output of pkg -vv?

If pkg(8) cannot find the package on the repository it will show up as 'orphaned'.
 
Thank you very much for answering. Let's see if I can get the required information.

I am not using a custom repository.

This is the output of pkg -vv:

I have also checked /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite and was very pleased that the information seems to be there (I feared that I had lost the database).

Code: 
sqlite>.mode column
sqlite>.headers on
sqlite> select id, origin, name, automatic, locked, datetime(time,'unixepoch'), pkg_format_version from packages where automatic = 0;
id          origin           name        automatic   locked      datetime(time,'unixepoch')  pkg_format_version

Thanks! That did the trick. And easy it was...

Still, I don't understand what happened.
