pkg/29200: .pkgdb not created if workdir already exists
>Number: 29200

>Severity: non-critical
>Priority: medium

>Arrival-Date: Wed Feb 02 16:45:00 +0000 2005
>Originator: lasse-sendpr-2005%plastictree.net@localhost
>Release: pkgsrc-current
>Environment:
Trustix Secure Linux 2.2 on i386, but likely is not platform related
>Description:
As mentioned in pkg/29148, .pkgdb is not created if work directory already
exists. Solution is to delete the workdir and restart the build. Unfortunately,
this does not work if workdir is accessed via a symbolic link.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd pkgsrc/pkgtools/digest
bmake clean
rm -fr "$HOME"/work
mkdir "$HOME"/work # this step cannot be left out
ln -s "$HOME"/work work
bmake install
>Fix:
As a workaround, do not use symbolic links to access work directory.
