My OBSD 3.7 panic n hanged when I was adding packages with pkg_add. After
reboot I can no longer add any new packages nor I could delete the packages
with pkg_delete. Attempting to add a package yields the following errors:

pkg_add -v mutt-1.5.8i.tgz
parsing mutt-1.5.8i
No pkgname in packing-list for nmap-3.81-no_x11

So now what should I do to restore my pkg_add, pkg_delete?
Thanks very much!

Gary.
