} 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

     I didn't do the PKG_DBDIR since I went with the moved directory.
I got caught pretty early and was dealing with changing instructions
and winging it.

} - 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
}
