Code: 
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.
Checking integrity...Assertion failed: (pkgdb_ensure_loaded(j->db, p2, PKG_LOAD_FILES|PKG_LOAD_DIRS) == EPKG_OK), function pkg_conflicts_need_conflict, file pkg_jobs_conflicts.c, line 211.
Child process pid=2213 terminated abnormally: Abort trap: 6
That happens on the majority of ports I have tried to use pkg install on, did not occur yesterday.
 
Seems to work with a pkg install download and a pkg delete -- pkg add from the local file. Most of the time anyway.
 
May as well post a procedure for anyone stuck with the same error. I updated all as I am about to probably for the week...

Code: 
pkg delete -f port port    # THIS -f for do-not-delete-extra
#    example:  GeoIP  ca_root_nss
pkg install port port
#  ..... errors after downloading, i.e. posted above?
pkg add -f port port    # already downloaded, from [FILE]/usr/cache/pkg[/FILE] or...
 
Sorry to hear of your woes, jb_fvwm2. As you probably remember, I was having issues with pkg(8), recently. I posted to the lists, and bapt@ responded right away. But haven't yet received a reply from him, to my response.

As it might be helpful for others experiencing similar issues; what version of pkg(8) are you getting these errors from?

Hope things clear up for you soon!

The error appeared in pkg -- 1.4.0a3 which I deinstalled and installed pkg-devel -- 1.4.0b2 to try to fix it.
 
It seems a dependency bug. It just installed several lang ports as an upgrade but upon upgrading mencoder wants to reinstall packages deinstalled per the gnome3 UPDATING process. guile for instance. Maybe fixed by more lines of code.
