Lost /var/db/pkg



Hello,

I had a hard disk failure some time ago, and I ended up losing
/var/db/pkg/ and everything under it (before you say I should've been
backing it up, I know, I was actually doing an initial full when this
happened). Is there a way I can restore it, or at least manually add
entries I know for sure about?

Thanks,
Will Orr
