problems with lintpkgsrc

["Markus Müller" <mue.ma%gmx.net@localhost>]

Hi!

I tried to update my pkgsrc system today. To get a list of available updates I 
used "lintpkgsrc -i" but ran into troubles. "lintpkgsrc" wouldn't output any 
results but some strange error messages.
I use pkgsrc on a Slackware Linux 10.2 system and haven't had any problems for 
six months now. I updated pkgsrc via cvs and the pkglint package to version 
4.64 today but got the same problem:

# lintpkgsrc -i
pkg_info: show_index: package "pkg": can't open '+COMMENT' for reading
pkg_info: show_index: package "pkg.refcount": can't open '+COMMENT' for reading
Scanning Makefiles: .............Cannot extract suse_aspell-nb2 version 
(/soft/pkgsrc/emulators/suse91_aspell/Makefile)
...........................
/soft/pkgsrc/www/opera-acroread/Makefile: Cannot locate 
../../www/netscape7-acroread/Makefile.common in . /soft/pkgsrc/www/o6125 
packages                           Unknown package: 'pkg' version missing
Unknown package: 'pkg.refcount' version missing
#

Then, I tried to get a list of all installed packages which didn't work as well:

# pkg_info -a
pkg_info: show_index: package "pkg": can't open '+COMMENT' for reading
pkg                 digest-20060302     Message digest wrapper utility
pkg_info: show_index: package "pkg.refcount": can't open '+COMMENT' for reading
pkg.refcount        # 

Any ideas how I could fix this?

Thanks,
Markus
