>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.
