    Hi all,

    I accedently delete /var/db directory. Shame!
    I found a way to recover structure:

    1) /usr/sbin/mtree -deU -f /etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist -p /var
    2) and then I recreate the log files looking at the /etc/newsyslog.conf.

    That saved me a reinstall !
    But now I can't update my ports.
    Is there a way to recover my db of all installed ports? How I can
    reinstall all my ports? Will reinstall helps?
     
    Thanks in advance!

    Regards,
    Zlatozar
