@thewtex: neither did work

The invalid DB entries can be fixed by deleting the directory and re-installing the package, backups of /var/db/pkg are a good idea..

Well how can I reinstall a package, when I can't install packages?

I would check to see if you have bad memory or hard drive failure going on. Either of these can cause these errors.

Or a power failure during installation as described above ...

Thank you
