Unless Manuel tried something on amd64-nb9 that I'm not seeing,
nuking the previous bulklog and starting really from scratch also works.

Summary instruction for pbulk with the present set of mk:

- update tree
- set PKG_DBDIR in 
  + /etc/pkg_install.conf
  + /etc/mk.conf
  + /usr/pkg/etc/pkg_install.conf
  wherever pbulk runs or packages get built
- set pkgdb in pbulk.conf
- build pkg_install using "make USE_CWRAPPERS=no install"
- cd /usr/pkg/sbin && install -c pkg_add pkg_admin pkg_create pkg_delete pkg_info /usr/sbin/
- remove the old bulklog dir(s)
- start new pbulk run
