I tried to perform the split migration according to the cited mail

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2020/12/30/msg032987.html

I got some warnings and I don't think it went totally well:

localhost# pkg_admin check
.........................................................pkg_admin:
can't open /usr/pkg/pkgdb/dirs/+CONTENTS: No such file or directory
localhost# pkg_admin rebuild-tree
pkg_admin: Cannot read +CONTENTS of package dirs


I fear this "dirs" come from this step:

In /var/db/pkg.refcount
  tar cf - . | (cd /usr/pkg/pkgdb && tar xfv -)

since pkg.refcount contained "dirs"

ls /usr/pkg/pkgdb/dirs/
etc usr var

is it out of place?
