Re: inconsistent pkgdb during upgrade

[Riccardo Mottola <riccardo.mottola%libero.it@localhost>]

Is there something "more powerful" to delete a package? and to rebuild 
the package database?

pkg_info dies with the same error:
pkg_info: cannot read meta data file +COMMENT of package suse_x11-11.3: 
No such file or directory

suse_x11 is no longer listed, but perhaps pkg_info dies before being 
able to print it up.
